Events

We’re building a great hometown. One remarkable party at a time.

Ready, set, go! The Cordova Community Council is racing full speed into an astonishing and vigorous year in Rancho Cordova. You are invited to be part of the surprises and fun waiting around each corner.
The Rancho Cordova Luncheon

The one and only...!
Each month, the Cordova Community Council and Rancho Cordova Chamber of Commerce host a luncheon featuring a newsmaker in the community. This alliance of leading Rancho Cordova organizations brings together Rancho Cordova’s “three-legged stool” of citizens, business and government in a setting that encourages teamwork and collaboration. Believe it or not, this luncheon has been meeting each month for 62 years! 


We call it The Rancho Cordova Luncheon… the one and only! That’s because it is the only monthly forum during which all sectors of our community turn out in force together. It’s our primary civic networking event 


Third Friday of each month

11:30 am - 1 pm

Rancho Cordova Sports Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony

Rancho Cordova has an extraordinary sports history and it comes to life each fall during inductions into the Rancho Cordova Sports Hall of Fame. The event returns with yet another All Star line-up of honorees on Sept. 14, 2024. This is a ticketed event which normally sells out.


During this gala event, Rancho Cordova sports legends will take their rightful place in the hearts and minds of the community, enshrined forever in the Rancho Cordova Sports Hall of Fame. Help honor local sports heroes by becoming a sponsor. A special exhibit honoring Hall of Famers is planned at the Mills Station Arts and Culture Center (MACC) and will be held in coordination with this event.
