All activities at Sunday Funday are free, but attendees can purchase food, drinks, and other items from the retail booths.

There will be food trucks, a beer garden, children’s activities, exhibits, live music, police dog demonstrations, and live musical performances by Citrus Heights Community Marching Band, country duo Thompson Square, and Rock from Austin Mo.

Community engagement at the event will include the City’s new beautification truck and block party trailer, historic tours of the Rusch House, antique car show, and a photo display for the 50^th anniversary of Sunrise Mall along with plans for the mall’s development through Sunrise Tomorrow.
