Nick Vieira, co-chairman of Country Festa and presenter for Club Madeirense S.S. Sacramento, is thrilled to run it back for a second time at the feast grounds.

“The turnout last year was absolutely phenomenal and it really helped with everything we do,” he said. “Bottom line, we do these (events) so we can help out charities throughout the city."

Last year, the first Country Music Festa helped the committee purchase turkeys during the Thanksgiving season for the less fortunate, as well as helping with Toys for Tots during the Christmas season. It also provided money for the scholarship fund.

What to Expect at Country Music Festa

On Saturday, June 3, 1 to 7 p.m., eventgoers will be surrounded by entertainment. Line dancing instructions will be available, courtesy of Sarah T and DJ Shane, and food trucks will be on hand thanks to Cluck Truck, Wicked Flavor and Pheonix on the Fly.

For the first time, guests can purchase a ticket for a pig roast.

Monsta Country, Jake Hungsinger, The Liz Spencer Band and Daniel Miller and the High Life will provide the country sound for the lively crowd, rain or shine.
