City Of Vallejo to Open Warming Shelter At The Norman C. King Center

SHELTER OPEN FRI. 3/24 AND SAT. 3/25

8:00 PM TO 7:00 AM

The National Weather Service is reporting the potential for "extreme weather" on Friday, March 24, and Saturday, March 25. Due to the extreme weather conditions, the City of Vallejo will open an overnight warming shelter for those seeking respite from the weather from Friday, March 24, and Saturday, March 25, from 8:00 pm to 7:00 am at our GVRD partner location, the Norman C. King Community Center, located at 545 Magazine Street in Vallejo.

Thanks to the generosity of our partners at SolTrans, those seeking transportation to and from the warming shelter will be provided with a free bus ride by simply mentioning to the driver that they are "traveling to or from the Vallejo warming shelter."

Additionally, participants are encouraged to bring their own blankets, although there will be a limited number of blankets and pillows available. In addition, participants will be limited to bringing in one small bag of personal items as space is limited.

Tribute Band @ The Empress Theater

One Performance Only

SATURDAY, MARCH 25 AT 8PM

Oakland California’s The Purple Ones treat the music and patented vibe of Prince’s legacy with the utmost respect. The musical dexterity of The Purple Ones – with 11-12 pieces on stage including a full horn section – deliver their own spin on Prince’s (and other Princerelated artists such as The Revolution, The New Power Generation, Sheila E., Morris Day & The Time and the general Minneapolis Sound) live onstage, as this funk machine, dance party has to be experienced to be believed!
