SUMMERFEST GOALS: GROWING OUR RANCHO MURIETA COMMUNITY

SUMMERFEST was formed in the late 90’s by a group of local Rancho Murieta residents who acknowledged the absence of recreational facilities and family activities for an active, young, and young at heart community. With an entrepreneurial spirit, the group created Summerfest. Each Summerfest generates revenue to provide educational and recreational projects for the youth and families of the community.

SUMMERFEST HAS RAISED APPROXIMATELY $1,000,000 TO DATE

(including donated services) and has provided educational and recreational events to many branches of our community. We have providedfunding to Cosumnes River Elementary School, Girl and Boy Scouts, and Cosumnes River Little League. We founded andorganized Cosumnes River Softball League, Junior Golf Association of Northern California, just to name a few of our many worthwhile endeavors. We are especially proud of improving our park facilities by helping build an additional softball diamond, adding the original lighting to the Little League field, and providing a shade cover at Riverview Park. In 2010 Summerfest provided $50,000 to the Stonehouse Park for additional lighting of the soccer fields and softball fields. In 2013-14, Summerfest donated $70,000 to help build a SPLASHPARK for kids at Riverview Park. In 2020, Summerfest provided $20,000.00 for new Pickleball Courts located at Stonehouse. 100% Of money raised goes towards projects to make our community a better place to live.
