Experience Different Views. Discover Common Ground.
As a way to inform our members about activities going on in the local area, we will be posting information in our event section of the website. This is not a Friendship Force event, just a way to keep you informed. If you decide to go, keep your eye open for other FF Members!
It's time to spread your wings! The City of Sacramento and Consulate of Mexico are presenting a free outdoor temporary exhibition of nine bronze sculptures by Jorge Marín, a well-known Mexican contemporary artist. One of the pieces, titled "Wings of Mexico," consists of large wings framed where viewers can stand on a pedestal and pose for photos between the wings. The nine sculptures have traveled throughout the world for the past 25 years and most recently were located in Santa Ana. The sculptures will be located on K Street between 11th and 7th Street and on 9th and Capitol Mall. Sacramento will be home to the nine sculptures until November 2019.
Admission to the festival is free. Food and drinks are available for purchase.
The free festival hosted on the city’s iconic Capitol Mall boasts a delicious selection of Farm-to-Fork offerings that are produced and available in the Sacramento region. Attendees will find food, wine and beer from regional eateries and purveyors, as well as live music, live cooking demonstration stages, a kids’ zone, interactive booths from local grocers, farms and ranches and more!
It will be crowded so think about public transportation (even the last part of your trip), carpool with a friend, drive part way and ride your bicycle to the event or ???
Davis Festival
We will have a booth at the Davis International Festival, to be held in Davis Central Park from noon to 5 pm on Sunday, October 6. This is a great opportunity to tell others about Friendship Force. We need volunteers for three two-hour shifts: Setup to 1:30 p.m., 1:30 to 3:30 pm, and 3:30 to 5 p.m. plus takedown/cleanup. Plan to spend some time before or after your shift checking out all the exhibitors and the music lineup.
