Live music, food trucks, and a classic car show are on schedule for the 3rd annual “Hot August Bites” event this month in Citrus Heights, with organizers inviting folks to bring the family and a lawn chair out to Rusch Park for an evening of fun.
“We are definitely looking forward to the Hot August Bites event,” said Sunrise Recreation & Parks Manager Marty Buell, highlighting this year’s new addition of a beer and wine garden. He said the Saturday event will also feature bounce houses for the kids and free swim at the pool.
The free four-hour event is scheduled from 4 to 8 p.m. on Aug. 13, with set-up for the classic car show beginning at 2 p.m. The annual car show is presented by Autos for Alzheimer’s and features vehicles from 1975 or older, with last year’s show attracting about 150 car entries, according to Buell.
Thousands of dollars in raffle prizes will also be offered, with proceeds going to support the Alzheimer’s Association.

For those curious about the “Bites” aspect of the usual “Hot August Nights,” Event and Community Center Technician Michele Saario previously told The Sentinel the term came about due to the popularity of the park’s food truck events in the past. She said a decision was made to merge a car show and food truck event to form the first “Hot August Bites” in 2014.
Hot August Bites is sponsored several businesses and organizations, including Consolidated Communications, the City of Citrus Heights, and the park district.
