The West Coast’s most glamorous transgender event is back!
The River City Gems welcome the whole transgender community, including family, friends, and allies, to put on your finest attire and party the night away at River City Sparkle 2024. Whether you are a first-timer or a Sparkle veteran, you won’t want to miss this year’s gala event.
The theme this year is Sparkle and Shine. Diamonds, glitter, sequins, precious metals, and all things lustrous, radiant, and dazzling will be on display. Dressing to the theme is completely optional. Please wear whatever makes you feel like your most beautiful self.
The party will be held at the DoubleTree Hotel, near Arden Fair in Sacramento. Get ready for a fun party atmosphere, no-host cocktails, a delicious dinner, door prizes, and more.
