Best party for feeling funky fresh

Los Angeles, Honolulu, Chicago, Austin and other cities are already part of the action for good reason: Motown rules. Back in 2009, Motown on Mondays (a.k.a. MOM) was a small San Francisco dance party, and now it's spread to a weekly, multicity destination event. Sacramento got its own this summer at LowBrau, where DJ Epik spins timeless classics—“Ain't No Mountain High Enough,” “Move on Up,” “I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie, Honey Bunch)” are mainstays—with spirited remixes that easily keep the party going until 2 a.m. on a Monday. 1050 20th Street, (916) 706-2636, www.motownonmondays.com.
