About South Sac Festival

Organized by the Office of Sacramento City Councilmember Mai Vang the South Sacramento Festival was created in 2021 with the idea to bring communities in South Sacramento together through dance, music, art, food, and more. This annual event celebrates the diversity in our vibrant community that makes South Sacramento great!

The Festival is an opportunity to connect with residents, community organizations, small businesses, and neighborhood associations and build a deeper connection with the groups that make our community a great place to live, work, and play.

  • Zumba with Gloria & Friend

    Back for their second year at South Sac Festival, Zumba with Gloria & Friends are returning after becoming a festival favorite in 2025!

    The group first connected largely through the gym and quickly discovered a shared love for dance, laughter, and community. Ranging in age from their 20s to their 60s, they come together several times a week to move, groove, and inspire one another—and they're ready to bring that same energy and joy back to the South Sac Festival stage.

  • Moksha Rao

    Moksha Rao brings together her classical dance roots, contortion-inspired flexibility, and elements of yoga to create a unique contemporary performance style. Drawing inspiration from her Indian heritage and multiple movement disciplines, Moksha has performed across India and the United States and is currently based in Sacramento.

  • Sacramento Wing Chun & Bak Mei Kung Fu Academy

    The Sacramento Wing Chun & Bak Mei Kung Fu Academy is a longstanding part of the Sacramento community where generations of families have trained, built friendships, and found a sense of belonging through martial arts.

    Under the leadership of Sifu Fong and Sifu Francillette and the teachings of Grandmaster Eddie Chong, the Academy emphasizes martial arts as a practice of self-defense, personal growth, discipline, and service to others while fostering a supportive environment where students learn from and uplift one another.

  • Wingel - Kpop Dance Group

    Wingel is a California-based, K-pop-inspired girl group featuring Naya, Vivian, and Kari. Blending powerful choreography, vocals, and rap, the group brings passion and confidence to every performance. Their goal is to connect with audiences and create an unforgettable live experience.

  • Sacramento Job Corps Choir

    Located in Meadowview, in the heart of South Sacramento, Sacramento Job Corps is helping us kick off this year’s festival with a special opening performance by the Sacramento Job Corps Choir!

    Sacramento Job Corps provides career training and education at no cost to young people ages 16–24, helping students gain the skills and experience needed to begin a career or apprenticeship, pursue higher education, or join the military. As a part of our South Sacramento community, we’re proud to have their students open the South Sacramento Festival and help set the tone for a day celebrating community, culture, and connection.

POWERED BY COMMUNITY.
