The annual Filipino Fiesta is held every first Sunday of June at the Jose Rizal Community Center…read more(Florin Mall Drive) to celebrate Philippine Independence Day. It's definitely a showcase of Central Valley Filipino-ness, culture and talent! It's run by six Filipino American community organizations and promotes community and youth relations, educating on history, with cultural activities and other festival events. The highlights of the fiesta include a parade, live entertainment, eskrima & arnis tournaments, traditional Filipino food. All ages, free entry, purchases out of pocket. 2022 was the first in-person event since Covid! The Fiesta went from 10am-5pm. When I arrived around 11am, it was pretty packed and I had to parallel park on the side street rather than the main parking lots. Weather was that weird overcast sprinkly light wind which doesn't scream "June" summertime, but for being out on the grassy area it was ok for walking. They had a charity car show/contest (Team LoveHATE and Neu Era), many many vendor booths from sponsors such as SMUD, UC Davis Health, Vaccinate All 58, Kaiser Permanente, Cache Creek, East Lawn, Sac Asian Chamber of Commerce (shout-out to Nikki S.!) giving out free 10-pack N95 masks and up to 3 Covid tests and other fun stalls like QTEA Boba (taro, milk tea, thai tea), a candle shop, a sticker shop, Filipino wares/crafts like island dresses, fun shirts, bracelets, Filipino flags, etc. My fave was the MTPhotos Sac mini photobooth and raffle (shoutout Misty T.!). They had an outdoor stage for music, performers as well as an indoor stage with performances by Sinagtala, tinikling (bamboo traditional folk dance), kung fu demonstration, Zumba, an oldies band, Polynesian dancers. The food trucks were very popular. Official vendors were Hella Halo (halo-halo), Pinorrito, Daisy's Desserts, My Lumpia Lady, Duffy's Hot Dogs, Angry Asian Chef, and Sugarbar. They had some tables and chairs for people to sit and eat too. I saw people eating chicken adobo and rice, lumpia, bbq on a stick, pancit! I picked up a few sweet treats from Ube Galore Breads & More (Bay Area-based) -- ube eggpie and ube cassava to take home...delicious!

The event space is very spacious which includes the main area plus a huge full in-house kitchen. They provide round tables and chairs included with in the rental. All that you need is decorations like table covers to really make the place pop. You are basically given a blank slate to decorate it up to your theme. The only thing they don't allow as decorations is balloons and confetti, as those are difficult to clean up. They don't have a sound system, so you would need to provide that yourself. The restrooms are clean with two stalls for each the men's and women's restrooms. Because the community center has windows throughout, so much natural light makes the space warm and inviting. Great party space to consider for your next event!

This was my second time at the Elk Grove Pavillion. My first time was probably over 40 years ago…read morewhen I had my wedding reception here! My memory isn't as good as it used to be, but I don't think it has changed much inside since then. Unfortunately, returning here was for a sad occasion. A good friend and avid Yelper, had recently passed away and we were all gathered together to celebrate Kali D's life. https://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=bs8BgzMjnn5kmpCGstMDKg A multitude of loving family members and friends attended. It was a very nice turn out. The Pavillion was a perfect place to have a memorial. Adequate room for the placement of tables & chairs. There is a full kitchen in the back where caterers set up along with buffet table. Very similar at how my reception was arranged including a space for a band or DJ. There is also plenty of parking surrounding the building. I was surprised to see that after all these years I would only be the second Yelper to review this hall located in the ever popular Elk Grove Park. A place holding important memories that I will always cherish.......

The layout encourages connection, the space was spotless, and everything we needed was already thought through. Even with unexpected March heat, they had a large misting fan that kept everyone cool and comfortable. Lynette was amazing! professional, warm, and truly on top of every detail. If you're looking for a beautiful, stress-free venue for a meaningful celebration, this is it.

We were looking for an environment that was a bit more relaxed and cozier, rather than a busy noisy restaurant. We found just what we were looking for at the Old Town Courtyard in Elk Grove... and Lynette Wall was amazing to work with! She listened to what we were wanting to achieve and then she came up with a menu and ideas to help make the celebration exactly what we were looking for. Those that attended the celebration all remarked how lovely the courtyard was and how perfect everything turned out. We could not have achieved this without Lynette. If you are looking for a quaint and personable venue to hold your next celebration, I highly recommend checking out Old Town Courtyard in Elk Grove!

The tables and chairs were set up according to our requested layout when we arrived but we needed some removed since we were having fewer guests than originally planned. Christina cheerfully made the requested changes for us. Lydia was the staff person on site when we cleaned up as she was nice as well. The only thing that would have improved things is if the front parking lot construction was completed. Guests, the caterers, and ourselves, had to park in the side parking lot and haul everything quite a ways. The chain link fencing detracted from the beauty of the venue.

My parents drove from…read moreover an hour away to be here because we thought it would be a cool way to get involved in the community, spend time together, and get out of the house as I recover in my postpartum period. At first it was a pleasant experience, but after my baby woke up from a nap and began making noise I was asked to take the baby outside to go for a walk. I was confused but I did. When I got back inside, my parents informed me that the facilitator stated that the community center staff stated that my child is unwelcome and would need to stay at home next time. I was floored because although the group is filled with mostly seniors, I didn't know there was an age limit to this group as the ad doesn't say there is. My child is not mobile yet so did not run around so safety was not a concern. The baby did spit up and some got on the floor and I noticed after I got back from the restroom, but before I could clean it the staff member had already went to clean it. Which she don't have to do but I was thankful for. It's just very disappointing that as a COMMUNITY CENTER infants aren't allowed to attend events that don't have an age limit. So heartbreaking that postpartum women use community events and centers to help recover from postpartum depression/anxiety, and are not really welcome. Are infants and postpartum women not apart of the community? Just know, kids aren't allowed...even if your passion is learning to sew. Definitely will not ever come back here.

My daughter was such in a panic and needed to find a location for her upcoming wedding. She was set on not having it a barn setting and really wanted a golf course. This location is close to my home so one day I said let's just check it out and I'm so glad we did. We were lucky enough to get a tour with the owner who was extremely sweet! She showed us around telling us stories about her family owning the property. It was really cool to see how much they took care of the property and didn't let it just get rundown. It is absolutely beautiful. My favorite part is the chapel. It is so stunning it just makes you want to get married in there! Immediately after seeing the property, my daughter fell in love with it and we booked that same day!!! few months later her wedding day was here, the property was even more beautiful than when we first saw it in the winter. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Tracy was absolutely a joy to work with. They were very accommodating and helpful throughout the process... even when we had issues with our current wedding planner, Tracy stepped into support. My only regret is that we didn't hire them for the full coordination package. I really wish we would've paid the extra to have them do the set up for the wedding and coordinate everything because I know it would've went seamlessly! We live and learn! Lol I have another daughter who will be planning a wedding in 2027 and she is dead set on Lamoure now too! one of the best amenities this site offers is a "something borrowed room" This literally saved us thousands of dollars, it's a room with a ton of different wedding decor that you can use at no cost!!!! I highly recommend this venue for a wedding or really any event!
