The inaugural First Festival kicks off Sacramento’s summer festival season on Saturday, May 23, 2015, at River Walk Park in West Sacramento. This all-day party runs from noon to 10 p.m. and celebrates all things local. It will feature 18 bands from the area performing on three stages. Ten local food trucks will also be on hand, including Krush Burger, Chando’s Tacos, Drewski’s and others. They’ll have a beer and liquor garden, a silent disco, and festival fashions and accessories available from 25-plus local vendors that will keep you styling all summer long. Rock band Humble Wolf has top billing on this well-rounded bill featuring everything from hip-hop (Dylan Phillip, D.U.S.T.), to folk/Irish rock (Whiskey and Stitches), to synth-driven dance tunes (Stationary), to indie-rock (Merdog) and more. Visit Firstfestivalsacramento.com to see the whole lineup and to snag your $15 pre-sale tickets. Price goes up to $20 at the gate.
