This weekend in Vallejo, CA

At Heritage Park, the Mountain View Harvest History Festival features music and a variety of activities. Attendees can listen, participate, and spend time in the park.

An LGBTIQ-only 5Rhythms Sweat Your Prayers class led by Sylvie Minot invites participants to use dance as meditation, sometimes described as embodied prayer. Rooted in Gabrielle Roth’s 5Rhythms, the session explores Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical, and Stillness to spark creativity, release energy, and cultivate self-awareness. The environment is supportive and nonjudgmental, with no set choreography or required experience, and it welcomes people of all ages and physical abilities to move at their own pace. Facilitation is offered in silence while music supports the journey, creating space to listen to the body and express authentic movement. Held on a sprung floor in Richmond at Bridge Arts and Events, this gathering provides an affirming space for LGBTIQ community members to celebrate identity and connect through dance. Space is limited, so pre-registration is recommended. Donation options are $20, $25, or $30.

Community Cat Advocates hosts an in-store adoption showcase at the Vallejo PetSmart, featuring cats and kittens ready for loving homes. Every animal adopted through the group has been spayed or neutered, tested, microchipped, and vaccinated according to age and time in rescue. They are also dewormed and treated for fleas. As a foster-based rescue, the cats live in home settings when they are not at adoption events, which helps them adjust to family life. Adoption appointments at the Vallejo PetSmart are available for approved applications and specific cats. Community Cat Advocates is entirely volunteer run, with team members donating their time to help place animals in safe, caring homes. For questions or to request an adoption application, email CCA.AdoptionTeam@gmail.com.

The grand opening of the Richmond Tiny Home Village Farm and Garden celebrates the village’s completion and the community effort behind it. The project doubles emergency housing for unhoused Richmond young people and prepares to welcome residents through a process guided by the Coordinated Entry System, a requirement of Housing and Urban Development. Hope Solutions will accept applications and interview Richmond youth ages 18 to 24 who are on that list. This gathering recognizes everyone who helped bring the village to life and marks an important step in supporting local youth.
