Mariachi, Dancing & More at the Bankhead!
Looking for a holiday experience that’s pure magic? 🎄✨
Mariachi Garibaldi de Jaime Cuéllar and Ballet Folklorico del Río Grande are bringing Campana Sobre Campana: Christmas in Mexico! to the Tri-Valley, and it’s truly something special.
This vibrant performance weaves together the beloved traditions of a Mexican Christmas — from the joyful rhythms of “Bells Upon Bells” to the colorful storytelling of folkloric dance. You’ll journey alongside Mary and Joseph, feel the warmth of the Posadas, celebrate the Reyes Magos, and enjoy the festive fun of classic piñata moments.
It’s a heartwarming, high-energy show that brings culture, music, and holiday spirit to life on one unforgettable night.
📅 Monday, December 22nd at 7:30 PM
A perfect way to kick off Christmas week with family, friends, and a little extra sparkle. Click Here for tickets.

The Perfect Holiday Gift for the Music Lover in Your Life!

After spotlighting the incredible sports memorabilia at the Legends & Icons Holiday Pop-Up in Danville these past few weeks, it’s time to dive into the music side of this treasure trove! 🎶✨
Their framed gold albums with replica signatures are absolutely stunning in person. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or shopping for someone who is, these make such a statement piece. And the lineup? Only the greats: Queen, Prince, Taylor Swift, The Rolling Stones, and so many more.
Right in the heart of downtown (422 Hartz Ave), you’ll find a full-on music and sports memorabilia wonderland—the kind of place you walk into and instantly start mentally redecorating your walls. The store is filled with wall-to-wall sports & music memorabilia for every fan in your household.

Total Game Changer for My Family
If you’re anything like us, keeping a family schedule synced is… a journey. With three kids in nonstop activities, plus two parents juggling work, sports, school events, social plans — it’s a lot. We’ve definitely shown up to the wrong place on the wrong day more times than I’d like to admit.
Enter the Hearth Display. This thing has completely transformed how our family stays organized. Between the five of us, we have nearly 15 different calendars across Google, Apple, and Outlook — and Hearth pulls them all together into one beautiful, easy-to-read screen that lives right on our wall.
And it does so much more:
• Meal planning
• Shared family to-do lists
• Visual routines and rewards (so good for younger kids!)
From unboxing to mounting it and syncing calendars, it took us about 30 minutes — and we felt the difference immediately. We’re actually on the same page now… which feels like a minor miracle!
If you’re a busy family trying to streamline the chaos, this is worth checking out.
