Get ready for an exciting basketball season, Sacramento Kings fans! 🏀 The city is buzzing with anticipation as the Kings prepare to tip off another thrilling campaign. But here's where it gets controversial... some might say the real action starts even before the first tip-off! 🌟
The Westfield Galleria at Roseville is hosting a pre-season party, and it's an event not to be missed!
This annual celebration, aptly named "Tip-Off the Season," is a unique blend of sports, entertainment, and community spirit. 🏆 And this year, it's extra special as the Westfield Galleria marks its 25th anniversary! 🎉

You'll have the chance to meet and greet Keon Ellis, the third-year guard from Alabama, and get those all-important photos. But here's the catch: no autographs allowed, so make sure you get creative with your poses! 😜
The fun doesn't stop there. Kings mascot, Slamson, will be on-site, bringing his energetic antics and photo opportunities. And if that's not enough, the Kings Dance Crew will be showcasing their signature moves, igniting the spirit of Sacramento pride. 🌟
From 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., you can expect a dance-off, a pushup challenge with Slamson, and other exciting entertainment. And from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m., it's all about Keon Ellis and those photo ops. 🌟
The event will be hosted by radio personalities Katie Wakeup Call from 106.5 FM The End and Damien "D-Lo" Barling from ESPN 1320. Barling, who has emceed the event before, said, "I love this event. The Kings are the best in the league, and they always bring the energy. I can't wait to see what Doug Christie does this year as head coach."
Various retailers at the Westfield Galleria will also be offering giveaways at their pop-up stalls, so you can shop and support your favorite team simultaneously. 🛍️
If you're a Kings fan, this is your chance to kick off the season with a bang! And for those who are new to the sport or the city, this event is a great way to immerse yourself in the local culture and community. 🌟
