Community Partnerships
In the past, we have looked to our community businesses for Sponsorships and financial help with the operating costs of POPS. This year is no exception. The support of our community businesses will make it possible for us to continue these amazing family-oriented concerts.
We have a variety of sponsorship opportunities, along with advertising options. Our POPS program is a great way for your business to reach up to 5000 residents who need every service provided by our sponsors and advertisers.

About the Artist
Kathy Dana is a contemporary painter who deeply respects and loves the positive energy in the world around us. Her work brings it forward in ways that soothe, transport, refresh, even empower. She is known for her colorful, interpretive paintings of many subjects.
Since 2015 her studio has been a popular destination on the Open Studios Tour, has appeared many times on the cover of Inside Publications and in local auctions for meaningful causes.
Dana’s work is regularly shown in galleries, is widely collected in our region and hangs at Kaiser Permanente, UC Davis Medical Center and other public spaces.
“Pop’s Playground” is inspired by her fond memories of family time at Pops in the Park.
History of Pops
Pops in the Park has been a mainstay of East Sacramento community life for over 30 years. Founded in 1991 by then Councilmember Josh Pane, the series has developed under Councilmembers Steve Cohn and Jeff Harris into an established tradition that thousands of residents enjoy every Saturday evening in June. The event has always been focused on bringing free quality entertainment to East Sacramento, with an emphasis on improving our community. In 2023 the Pops tradition continues in collaboration with Friends of East Sacramento for the non-profit support of local artists, vendors, businesses, and residents. We are excited to carry the East Sac summer tradition forward!
