Fever pitch

It finally resembles spring. The weather is warm and outdoor activities look more appealing. In fact, three events this weekend at Raley Field kind of warrant camping out there all weekend:

Brewfest happens Friday, May 13, from 7 to 10 p.m. It will highlight more than 40 local and regional microbrewers, with live music by 50 Stories and Private Criminals. Tickets include 10 5-ounce tastings and cost $30 in advance or $35 at the door; a $50 VIP ticket allows you early access to the event, and an additional 8 5-ounce tastings. Entry is free for designated drivers.

Sactopalooza happens Saturday, May 14, from 4 to 11 p.m. It features DJs Rigatony and Peeti-V plus tribute bands to Beastie Boys, Van Halen, Sublime, No Doubt, Journey, INXS, U2 and Dave Matthews Band. Sactopalooza will also have food and drink, a mechanical bull, laser lighting and fireworks. It’s put on by the Sacramento Active 20-30, a nonprofit that raises funds for Sacramento-area children’s charities. Tickets cost $25.

Endfest happens Sunday, May 15, at 3 p.m. Hosted by KDND 107.9 The End, the concert includes performances by Ke$ha, T-Pain, Far East Movement, the Ready Set, Hot Chelle Rae and Ian Knighton. Tickets cost $29.50-$39.50.
