UPCOMING FALL EVENTS
Oktoberfest – September 20th - 21st
Oktoberfest is akin to a fall prelude. With many breweries adopting the German/Bavarian tradition, Oktoberfest is likely the third most popular fall event in the country, after Halloween and Thanksgiving. The Monk’s Cellar in Downtown Roseville does not disappoint with their Oktoberfest weekend.
This year is Monk’s 10th year in hosting Oktoberfest. Expect traditional Bavarian dishes and drinks (including special brews), live music, and more!
If you’re looking for an event to attend with your girlfriends, buddies, or significant other then Oktoberfest at Monk’s would be a great choice! Also, festive dressing is highly encouraged!
Concerts on the Square – September 21st
Planning to attend Monk’s Oktoberfest party on Saturday the 21st? Don’t miss everything that’s happening outdoors that evening!
The Faux Fighters (a Foo Fighters tribute band) will be bringing the house down amidst local vendors, a beer garden, and food trucks.
Vendors (organized by TBG Productions) will be selling from 4-9pm. Gates open at 6:30pm for the show.

NEW AND PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTS
Getting to Downtown Roseville – New Roundabout Completed
Visiting Downtown has just gotten easier! If you’ve traveled south from the Placer County Fairgrounds to Downtown Roseville lately, you may have noticed the completion of a new roundabout on the intersection of Washington, Lincoln, and All America City Boulevard.
This roundabout was completed by the City of Roseville as a safety and efficiency measure. It is intended to improve traffic flow and reduce speeds as vehicles enter Historic Downtown and Downtown Roseville.
The newly completed roundabout leads into Downtown Roseville from the north. // City of Roseville
Downtown Parking Garages – Safety Improvements are Underway
As part of a project funded by the City, the Vernon and Oak Street Garages will be outfitted with safety enhancements including speed bumps. The project is currently in its planning stages and construction is expected to continue through 2025.
Atlantic/Vernon Street Traffic Improvements – Funding Proposal Submitted
City of Roseville is looking to improve the “S-curve” area connecting Atlantic and Vernon Street and has submitted a proposal to the State of California for project funding.
There are several safety improvements included in the project such as raised landscape medians, enhanced pedestrian crosswalks with lighting, and lane reductions to slow vehicle speeds.
If the proposal is approved, we will see a more functional and aesthetic entryway into Downtown Roseville and construction may begin as soon as spring 2025.
