Country hits, perfect fairways, and Sacramento’s favorite feel-good festival—Golf & Guitars returns with a three-day swing September 28–30, 2025. The party kicks off Sunday, Sept 28 at Silt Winery in Clarksburg (“Wine & Guitars”), then rolls to Haggin Oaks for two nights of music under the pines on Monday and Tuesday. Expect food-included VIP evenings, an artists’ charity golf tournament you can watch for free, and a Tuesday mainstage stacked with Nashville names.

Here’s the game plan. Sunday at Silt Winery opens at 5 pm (food/drink available for purchase). Monday at Haggin Oaks: doors 5 pm, music from 6 pm, with food and non-alcoholic drinks included in your ticket. Tuesday is the big finish: charity tourney check-in at 7:30 am, shotgun at 9 am (spectating is free), then gates at 4 pm and music from 6 pm—again with food and non-alcoholic drinks included.

The Tuesday lineup? George Birge, Jackson Dean, Chase Matthew, Love & Theft, Runaway June, and Jason Michael Carroll—one roof (well, stars), one night. Pro tip: VIP Tuesday is limited; it sells fast.

Why we love it: every note supports kids and community through the Morton Golf Foundation. Since its start, the event has raised nearly $2M—turning good times into real impact. Bring a jacket for the evening breeze, comfy shoes for lawn dancing, and your appetite (dinner is handled with VIP). See you at Haggin Oaks!

Golf & Guitars is not just a tournament; it’s a celebration where community, charity, and music intersect. Attendees can enjoy watching celebrity pro-am golf during the day and wind down with exceptional live performances in the evening. This event offers a perfect blend of sport and entertainment, all while contributing to a noble cause. Whether you’re a golfer, a music enthusiast, or someone looking to support local charities, Golf & Guitars provides an unforgettable experience that makes a difference.

Haggin Oaks Golf Complex is renowned for its two championship golf courses, including the Alister MacKenzie Course, designed by the same legendary architect behind Augusta National. This course is celebrated for its strategic design, with a more open front nine that transitions into a back nine distinguished by majestic oaks lining the fairways. The greens are smaller than what is typically seen today and are known for their speedy play. Notably, the course features minimal water hazards, though Arcade Creek makes a strategic appearance on five holes, adding an element of challenge. The course is particularly demanding due to its heavily bunkered greens which require precise shot-making skills. The signature hole, the par-3 16th, is famed for its daunting layout where a massive oak tree and the creek guard the green, dramatically increasing the risk of a challenging putt should one not land in the correct section of the green.

Rugby is crashing back into Sacramento this fall — and this time, it’s international.

On September 6th, Heart Health Park hosts a must-see showdown in the Pacific Nations Cup as Team USA faces off against Japan. Known for its high-speed pace, hard tackles, and edge-of-your-seat intensity, this match is expected to be a true clash of styles and strength.

Japan’s Brave Blossoms stunned the world in the 2019 Rugby World Cup, while the USA Eagles are eager to prove they belong in the global top tier. In the 2019 Rugby World Cup hosted in Japan, the host nation achieved a historic run, reaching the quarter-finals for the first time in their history. Japan secured a top spot in Pool A, defeating both Ireland and Scotland in surprise victories, and captivated the world with their attacking style of play. While they lost to eventual champions South Africa in the quarter-finals, Japan’s performance significantly boosted national pride and left a lasting legacy for the sport in Japan.

It’s a huge week for Sacramento Republic FC fans — one that’s got us raising a pint in one hand and crossing fingers with the other.

Let’s start with Saturday, June 14, when the boys in Old Glory Red face off against San Antonio FC at Heart Health Park. Kickoff is at 8 PM, but the fun starts much earlier with the return of Brewfest, presented by Sky River Casino. This all-in-one soccer bash features:

• Tasting stations from top craft breweries
• Local food trucks and vendors
• Music, giveaways, and Republic FC’s unbeatable fan energy

It’s one of the biggest games of the season. San Antonio (5-2-4) is fighting to stay near the top of the Western Conference, while Sacramento (3-4-2) is looking to build momentum and climb the table. And while this might not be an official rivalry, let’s just say… there’s a bit of tension. These two teams bring out the best (and the fire) in each other.

Meanwhile: June 10 Could Change Everything

Just four days before the big game, on Tuesday, June 10, the Sacramento City Council will vote on a financing agreement that could finally kick off construction of Republic FC’s new stadium in the Railyards.

Here’s what’s on the table:

Location: Downtown Sacramento’s Railyards

Cost: $175 million (privately funded by Wilton Rancheria)

Capacity: 12,000 seats (Phase 1), expandable to 20,000 (Phase 2)

Timeline: Groundbreaking could begin summer 2025, with the stadium opening in early 2027

The stadium is just one piece of a larger 31-acre redevelopment plan that also includes:

• A hotel
• A concert venue inside the historic Paint Shop
• New housing and retail space

If approved, this project could give Sacramento the soccer home it deserves — a modern, urban venue that puts Republic FC right in the heart of the city.

Hallelujah – Time to Celebrate

June 10, 2025. Sacramento.
The Sacramento City Council unanimously approved the construction of a new 12,000-seat soccer stadium for Sacramento Republic FC in the downtown Railyards on June 10, 2025. The vote was 9-0. This decision allows the team to start construction in August with a target opening in spring 2027.

The council passed two resolutions:

1. Finalizing agreements: This covered the project, land purchase, and funding agreements needed for construction.
2. Expanding the Enhanced Infrastructure Financing District (EIFD): This will help fund infrastructure related to the project. The city’s contribution of over $90 million will come from future tax revenue generated by the stadium and surrounding areas.

Financially supported by Wilton Rancheria, the stadium project includes surrounding development like retail, housing, a market, a hotel, and a live music venue. This development is expected to help revitalize the Railyards area. The stadium will also host concerts, community events, and other activities.

So here’s your call to action:
June 10 – Stay tuned for the vote that could shape Sacramento’s sports landscape.
June 14 – Be there for Brewfest, Republic FC vs. San Antonio, and a whole lot of Quails pride.
