Sacramento is fortunate to have an abundance of community organizations that work to better the lives of those in our area, and we are even more fortunate to have so many that bring local food and drink together to support their cause.
Alchemist Community Development Corporation is a local organization that works to ensure that lower income communities have access to local and healthy fresh food options. On July 18, they are hosting a fabulous fundraiser bringing together some of the Sacramento region’s most prized local tastes.
At the Courtyard, those in attendance will be able to sample some delicious options, while enjoying the sounds of local jazz musician Steve Homan. Some of the selections will include: Mikuni Sushi, Supper Club, Selland’s Market Café and Bistro Michel. Check out the full list here!
Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door. Tickets can be purchased here or by calling (916) 204-8260. Proceeds support all of the efforts Alchemist implements in our community.
Lucky for our readers, you can win a ticket by telling us which place you look forward to trying most or a memorable moment you’ve had involving one of the restaurants that will be in attendance. Just comment on this post by 2 p.m. on Monday, July 16.

Sacramento Beer & Chili Festival – and a Giveaway!
Who doesn’t love beer and chili? But eating a variety of delicious chili, while sipping local beer to the tunes of area musicians, is even better when you’re doing it in the name of charity. The 1st Annual Sacramento Beer & Chili Festival kicks off on Saturday, March 3, towards the end of Sacramento’s third annual Beer Week, rain or shine at Southside Park.
The proceeds from the fun event will benefit art programs for Sacramento at-risk children, and local kids who are part of homeless families. Donations will also be accepted and used to help support Sacramento regional schools’ Adopt-a-School Art Program.
The tasty day will include a chili cook-off with three categories: individual, corporate and industry. There will be a wide variety of meat and vegetarian options to experience. Regional and local beer vendors include: Sutter Buttes, River City, Track 7, 21st Amendment and Lost Coast.
If you’ve got a scrumptious chili recipe that you think will knock out the competition and have patron’s mouths watering, then try entering the cook-off competition! An entry form can easily be filled out online or mailed to the Sacramento Arts Council. Click here to visit the event website and get all of the details.
Tickets are a steal, at only $15 for chili tasting and $35 to sample both chili and beer. Tickets can be purchased online or at Little Relics or Dad’s Kitchen. There will also be tickets available for purchase the day of the event for only $5 more.
Luckily, for our SacFoodies followers, we are giving away a pair of tickets for the event! It’s easy, just leave us a comment here or on our Facebook page telling us what brewery you are most looking forward to trying and we will pick one lucky winner! You’ve got until March 1 (one week), to give us your answer and we will notify the lucky winner that day!
Pair of Tickets is for Beer & Chili tasting, must be 21 to win.
