Overview
The Elk Grove Historical Society is calling on businesses, community leaders, and residents to help preserve Elk Grove's rich heritage by supporting the Annual Raise the Barn Banquet, taking place on Friday, August 21, 2026, from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. at District56 in Elk Grove.
The signature fundraising event supports the Elk Grove Barn Project, an ambitious initiative to construct a historic replica hay barn at Heritage Park. Once completed, the approximately 7,500-square-foot venue will serve as both a permanent home for historic wagons, carriages, and local artifacts, as well as a community gathering space available for weddings, nonprofit events, educational programs, and celebrations.
The Barn Project represents a significant investment in preserving Elk Grove's agricultural roots and ensuring future generations have a place to connect with the stories, traditions, and pioneering spirit that
shaped the community.
The Raise the Barn Banquet will feature an evening of dining, entertainment, community fellowship, and opportunities to support the project through fundraising activities. Guests will enjoy a memorable
celebration while making a lasting investment in the future of Elk Grove's historical legacy.
