    Sacramento365.com Category Guidelines

    These guidelines articulate the general parameters by which such information will be presented; however, in all instances, the authority to make decisions based on specific circumstances belongs to Sacramento365.

    2nd Saturday: Captures the various activities taking place for the 2nd Saturday Artwalk, a monthly occurrence of gallery openings & other special events that take place the 2nd Saturday of each month.

    Art Shows: Art exhibits, either free or with paid admission, at galleries, museums, and other destinations. The focus of this category is specifically on exhibits of “art”—which may appear in many different forms.

    Artober: Taking place throughout October, Artober is a month-long celebration of arts & culture in the Sacramento region. Here you will find Artober celebrations that take place in Sacramento, Placer, Yolo, or El Dorado counties, or the equivalent.

    Clubs & Dancing: Found under the “Nightlife” category, this includes DJ performances, dance nights, and other activities at nightclubs.

    Comedy: Found under the “Nightlife” category, this includes performances generally taking place at comedy clubs and stage venues with a comedic theme.

    Dance: Professional and community dance performances, including university and community college productions.

    Fashion/Design: Found under the “Visual Arts & Film” category, this includes fashion shows, design events, and other events in the Fashion or Design industries.

    Festivals: Festivals are, generally, recurring seasonal events. This also includes seasonal community celebrations, cultural fairs, film festivals, and local marketplaces.

    Film Events: Previews, premieres, film festivals, special showings/filmings.

    Food & Wine: Any event including food, wine, beverages, or the tasting of some form of either (i.e. special events, tastings, happy hours, fundraisers, parties).

    Free Events: This is a catch-all category listing all events and activities that are free of charge.

    Fundraisers: All events that include a charitable element.

    Holiday Events: Here you can find Holiday Events, no matter what the season, and even events taking place in concurrence with long weekends (i.e. Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day, etc.).

    Kids & Families: The goal is for this category to be a single source for a broad range of information for family activities. This category breaks down further into the sub-categories of “Kids”, “Youth/Teens”, and “Seniors (55+)” and all events that cater to these specific age ranges are included here. It’s important that this category span the variety of obvious kids & family events, but should also offer opportunities to bring children to other age-appropriate events as well.

    Local Marketplace: With the Shop Local movement growing in leaps & bounds, turn to this category for all your local shopping needs. You’ll find Farmers’ Markets, local boutique/retail events, arts & crafts fairs, holiday marketplaces, and more to help you support the local economy.

    Museums: Exhibits at a broad range of museums and cultural destinations, either free or paid admission, with regular hours of operation.

    Music: Professional and community music events geared to adults, including university and community college productions, as well as venues such as nightclubs and restaurants.

    Nightlife: Any adult event occurring outside of the working hours of 9am-5pm which does not specifically fall under the other categories.

    Performing Arts: This includes arts that are performed live in front of an audience (and that do not fit into any of the other categories listed on the site). The category breaks down into the sub-categories of “Theatre” and “Dance”.

    Poetry & Literature: Focuses on the written and spoken word events—lectures, poetry events, author appearances, book signings, presentations, readings, open mics, and slams.

    Special Events: In addition to breaking down into the sub-categories of "Artober", "Fundraisers", "Holiday Events", and "Poetry & Literature", this category serves as a general primary category for events that are not better suited for any other category.
