S'moresfest 2026
2026-10-10 17:30 - 20:30 | Sacramento Central YMCA, 2021 W Street, Sacramento, CA, 95818, United States
Grab your flannel, gather your camp crew, and join us for S’moresfest 2026- an evening of community, campfire fun, and delicious s’mores, all in support of the YMCA’s mission.
On Saturday, October 10 at 5:30 PM, the YMCA will host one of the most anticipated traditions of the evening: the S’mores Competition. Local chefs, bakers, and businesses will share their creative takes on the classic campfire treat, and guests will sample each creation before voting to crown the “S’more of the Year.”
While the s’mores may bring everyone together, the purpose behind the event is what truly matters. Every ticket purchased and every dollar raised helps ensure that children, families, and older adults throughout our community have access to YMCA programs that build confidence, improve health, create belonging, and provide opportunities regardless of financial circumstances.
S’moresfest is a chance to celebrate the incredible businesses and community members who come together to support the Y, reconnect with friends, make new memories, and invest in a stronger Sacramento for all.
We hope you’ll join us around the campfire and be part of something that makes a lasting difference.
