Family events in Stanislaus County, CA

At Sisters Coffee Shop, enjoy a paint-and-sing session where participants paint on a 16x20 canvas with sing-along music in the background, featuring artist Linsey. Seats are $30, and reservations do not include food or drinks, so plan to pick up a beverage before the painting begins. All ages are welcome. All materials are provided, including the easel, canvas, brushes, palette, acrylic paints, and aprons, but acrylic paint can stain clothing. If you have already paid and cannot attend, you can send a friend in your place or receive credit for another paint event, and for private events the same options apply if a host reschedules. For details or to reserve, contact KAT by text at (209) 923-3167 or email katspaintandwineparties@gmail.com.

The fifth annual Warrior Expo features Feria de Educación, adding more bilingual support, guidance on educational pathways, and stronger community connections. Participants can explore academic programs, take campus tours, meet with admissions and financial aid teams, and get a sense of campus life together with family and the broader community. The event offers academic and student resource fairs, college readiness workshops, family friendly activities, and entertainment. Open to prospective students, families, educators, current students, alumni, and community members. Admission is free.

Celebrate a pumpkin-themed event at the pool with free admission. Pumpkins are available for $5, and the experience includes relaxed poolside fun and treats.

Enjoy a quick, hands-on pumpkin patch crafting session designed for all ages. For $20, each participant creates a set of three wooden pumpkins chosen from the patch. The pumpkins come pre-painted in orange shades, and you personalize them by selecting from a variety of face designs to stencil in black or white. Expect the project to take about 15 to 20 minutes from start to finish. Reservations are optional and can secure a seat, and walk-ins are welcome while space is available. One reserved seat includes one chair and one set of three pumpkins. If multiple people want to make their own sets, each person should reserve a seat. Seating is not assigned, so groups that want to sit together should arrive together. Parents may assist their children without purchasing their own set, but since one seat equals one chair, adults who are not crafting may need to stand behind their child.
