Vallejo — this one hits different.
Join us for a special Sunday Jazz Brunch at the Empress Marquee Club featuring the&nbsp;<a href="https://oaklandjazzchoir.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Oakland Jazz Choir</a> — one of the Bay Area’s most respected vocal ensembles, known for blending rich jazz harmony, soul, and gospel influence into a powerful live performance.

Opening the afternoon is the DVC Jazz Choir from Diablo Valley College, a standout collegiate vocal program known for strong arrangements, serious talent, and fresh energy.
This is not background brunch music. This is a full live vocal experience — the kind of Sunday where the room fills, the music lifts, and the whole afternoon takes on its own energy.

Brunch: 11:00 AM – 2:00 PM
Live Music: 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
Entrées freshly prepared by Chef Dianna
Come early, grab brunch and cocktails, and settle in for an afternoon of soaring vocals, jazz energy, and one of the most uplifting live music experiences you’ll find anywhere in the Bay.
LIVE MUSIC &amp; BRUNCH

A young, not yet 6-years old, Benicia child is discovering that everyday walks in nature can become meaningful scientific contributions.
Participating in this week's City Nature Challenge, the child recorded 10 research-grade wildlife observations that are now part of global biodiversity databases used by scientists studying ecosystems around the world.
From spotting insects and plants in local parks to noticing patterns in wildlife, these small moments of curiosity became part of real scientific data collection.
For families in Benicia, the story highlights how science learning doesn&rsquo;t always begin in a classroom&mdash;it often begins outdoors, through observation and exploration.
The participant is also part of the National Wildlife Federation Junior Ranger 2026 Competition, which encourages young people to explore, learn about, and care for wildlife and natural spaces.
