Placer County Calendar of Events

Join the members of the Rocklin Fire Department and the Placer County Friends of the Library, for a Valentine’s edition of Storytime at the Fire Station.

Join us for an uplifting and unique experience at Canyon View Preserve – “Shinrin-Yoku” (forest bathing). Come explore the outdoors in new ways via nature immersion techniques! A Forest Bathing Hike is a meditative, slower-paced hike where we focus on immersing all of our senses in the unique nature around us. Stroll the preserve and participate in “bathing” stations. Special station hosted by East Wind Yoga!

It’s a pie potluck! Sweet, savory, or pizza pie – enjoy a slice or five with old friends and new! Come at 1pm for an optional open preserve hour (details below). Wander the preserve at your own pace to build up that appetite. If you’re just coming for the pie —and who isn’t?! — we’ll start the potluck at 2pm. This casual event includes classic yard games to enjoy, a short program to share Placer Land Trust updates and answer questions, and beverages available on site! At check in, you will receive two drink tickets to enjoy the wine, beer, and non-alcoholic beverages provided.

Play a variety of fun outdoor games under the direction of Del Oro High School Club: Project Earth! Refreshments provided. Limited parking is available at the preserve; additional parking can be found at Bayside Fields and in surrounding neighborhoods. Registration & Donations encouraged but not required.

Be an Eco Warrior! Join Rocklin’s Clean-Up Day! Items will be collected that normal trash collections will not take, including electronic waste.

Stroll the preserve and see how many wildflowers are blooming! Learn from California Native Plant Society experts, and get your own wildflower seed packet to plant at home! Registration & Donations encouraged but not required.

Join the City of Rocklin at Johnson-Springview Park for the Rocklin Civic Celebration, a family-friendly event that brings the community together for a fun and educational evening. This event will showcase the work of city departments, offering interactive displays such as vehicles from the Police and Fire Departments and equipment from the Public Works Department. Residents can learn about upcoming projects, volunteer opportunities, and ways to get involved in the city. Families can enjoy activities like bounce houses, face painting, and balloon artistry, while everyone will enjoy live performances, delicious food from local vendors, and a spectacular firework show starting after dusk. Admission is free, and all ages are welcome. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with your community and celebrate everything that makes Rocklin special.

Bring your own picnic to enjoy by the creek! Wander the preserve trails at your leisure. Special treats will be provided! Registration is required. Taylor Ranch Preserve Directions will be emailed upon registration.

Maker Faire is a gathering of fascinating, curious people who enjoy learning and who love sharing what they can do. From engineers to artists to scientists to crafters, Maker Faire is a venue for these “makers” to show hobbies, experiments, and projects. We call it the Greatest Show (& Tell) on Earth — a family-friendly showcase of invention, creativity, and resourcefulness. Featuring both established and emerging local “makers,” the Rocklin Mini Maker Faire is a celebration for all ages featuring rockets and robots, digital fabrication, DIY science and technology, urban farming and sustainability, alternative energy, bicycles, unique hand-made crafts, music and local food, and educational workshops and installations. The Rocklin Mini Maker Faire follows the “big” Maker Faire model of celebrating invention, creativity, and resourcefulness, but is smaller in scale and showcases the wonders of Placer and Sacramento counties and beyond!
