What you’ll see

• 5,000+ handblown pieces: pumpkins, gourds, acorns, and sculptural surprises
• Work from 11 Northern California glassblowers, each with a distinct style
• A charming autumn backdrop of straw bales and seasonal vignettes (hello, photos)

What you’ll do

• Watch live glassblowing demos and feel the heat, rhythm, and craft up close
• Sip Wisegal Coffee and enjoy complimentary popcorn while you browse
• Choose from a wide range of sizes, colors, and prices—from petite place-setting pumpkins to mantle-worthy statement pieces

Every pumpkin is made by hand, one at a time, so no two are ever the same. Look closely and you’ll spot the artist’s decisions in every twist of stem, every fleck of color, every curve of glass.

Why it matters
Proceeds benefit the Folsom Parks & Recreation Community Arts Education Programs, so your fall décor upgrade also fuels youth classes, community workshops, and creative opportunities right here at home.

Pro tips for a magical visit
• Arrive early for first pick of rare colorways and extra-curly stems.
• Bring a tote or ask about boxes—glass wants a comfy ride home.
• Snap a family photo against the straw bales; instant holiday-card energy.

Come for the glow, leave with a keepsake—and the warm feeling of supporting local arts.

Say it once, say it twice, say it… you know the rest. Sunrise MarketPlace is throwing a full-on fall bash with the Beetlejuice Harvest Festival & Movie Night on Friday, October 17, 2025, 5–10 pm, at the Sunrise Mall Parking Lot (6041 Sunrise Mall, Citrus Heights)—and admission is FREE.

From the jump, it’s pure family fun: face painting, pumpkin decorating, trackless train rides, live magic shows, festival games, and local food trucks serving cozy fall favorites. At 7 pm, the original Beetlejuice lights up the outdoor screen, so bring blankets, low-back chairs, and your best “strange and unusual” outfit (costumes encouraged, not required).

Why this night delivers:
• Kid-approved chaos before sundown; movie-cuddle vibes after.
• Budget-friendly (free entry) with plenty of choose-your-own splurges at the food trucks.
• Easy meet-up spot with tons of space—text the group your quadrant and you’re set.

Pro tips: Arrive a touch early to snag prime lawn space; do pumpkins and train rides first to beat lines; grab dinner before showtime and dessert at intermission. Temps drop after dark—pack layers.

Details
When: Fri, Oct 17, 5–10 pm (movie at 7 pm)
Where: Sunrise Mall Parking Lot, 6041 Sunrise Mall, Citrus Heights, CA 95610
Cost: Free admission

Roseville, sharpen your fangs: Halloween Towne Night Market is back on Saturday, October 18, 2025, from 3–8 p.m. at Vernon Street Town Square. Hosted by NorCal Makers, this annual Halloween-themed market is equal parts neighborhood block party and artisan showcase—perfect for families, friend groups, and anyone who believes October should be a month-long mood.

What makes Halloween Towne special? It’s the maker energy. Expect rows of local artisans with handcrafted goods—think seasonal décor, candles, jewelry, artwork, and gifts you’ll want to keep “for someone else” (sure). Add in food and drinks from crowd-pleasing vendors and you’ve got yourself a cozy evening of strolling, sampling, and spontaneous “ooh, I need that” moments.

Because it’s Halloween, plan for contests and spirited surprises that get everyone playing along. Bring your best costume, your cutest mini-monsters, and your camera roll—the Square glows beautifully as the sun goes down. The atmosphere is festive but friendly, with family-friendly fun baked into the vibe so all ages can enjoy the night.

Pro tips for a smooth evening:
• Arrive near 3 p.m. if you want first pick from artisan booths.
• Dress in layers—October evenings can cool off once the sun dips.
• Bring both card and a little cash, just in case your favorite booth is old-school.
• Plan a photo stop by the square’s best backdrops for a quick costume shoot.
Whether you’re hunting unique décor, fall flavors, or an easy night out that still feels special, Halloween Towne delivers. It’s a small-business love letter wrapped in spooky season sparkle—and it’s right in the heart of Roseville.

Halloween’s coming early—and it’s not sneaking in quietly. Sinister Halloween Con returns to the Scottish Rite Center (Sacramento) on October 18–19, 2025, unleashing a full weekend of horror icons, twisted vendors, delicious food trucks, live panels, cosplay, FX make-up demos, and wall-to-wall spooky energy. If your calendar has cobwebs and your heart beats in 4/4 slasher time, this is your pilgrimage.

Why it’s unmissable:
• Horror royalty on deck. Featured guests include Pam Grier, Andy Black (Black Veil Brides), Adrienne King (Friday the 13th), Amy Steele (Friday the 13th Pt. 2), The Grimm Life Collective, Brian Krausse (*Sleepwalkers, Charmed), Lynnn McKree (Scream 3), and Yosan An (Heart Eyes).
• Artists who thrill. Catch work from Dan Acosta, Tosh, Lil Sicx, Joshua Millican, and Rain Williamson.
• Cosplay + FX central. From prosthetics to paint jobs, the make-up demos and costumed chaos turn the floor into a living, screaming gallery.

Between panel deep dives and vendor treasure hunts (creepy collectibles galore), refuel at the food trucks, then sprint back inside for another dose of monster fellowship. It’s more than a con—it’s a gathering of the strange, the spooky, and the spectacular.
