First Friday at the Barn

w/ West Sacramento Friends of the Library

Bring your friends and family to First Friday at the Barn at the start of each month to celebrate and support local schools and charities in our community. This fundraising tradition started over 15 years ago at Drake’s Barrel House in San Leandro, and now we’ve expanded with philanthropic tradition to West Sacramento! Starting on the first Friday of every month, Drake’s: The Barn will be operating business as usual with extra excitement of course! Join us as we gather as a community for beer, food, games, music, and more.

Support our local beneficiaries by purchasing any packaged beer during the event, or ANYTIME during their selected month, and part of your purchase will go directly to the non-profit. Purchases made during the First Friday event count more towards each group’s goal. So be sure to support them with a purchase on First Friday, and continue your support with additional purchases all month long. Join us in pursuing our goal of over 600+ purchases cans, boxes, and to-go throughout every month-long opportunity!

Representatives from each beneficiary will be onsite throughout their respective month to tell you more about their organization and how you can help them grow. Be a team player and come drink for a good cause!
