Quick Facts

 

California State Railroad Museum - California State Railroad Museum is the largest train museum in the country. Dedicated to accuracy and detail, the California State Railroad Museum, located in historic Old Sacramento, recreates the golden days of American railroading circa 1849.

Old Sacramento - With 53 historic buildings, Old Sacramento has more buildings of historic value condensed into its 28 acres than most areas of similar size in the west. Registered as a National and California Historic Landmark, the properties in the district are primarily owned by private owners, with individual businesses leasing shops and offices.

Discovery Park - Discovery Park is where the American River meets the Sacramento River. One of Sacramento County’s best boat launches, recreational boaters get the chance to explore both of Sacramento’s wild and scenic rivers.

Gold Rush Days - More than 200 tons of dirt is dumped on the streets of Old Sacramento as the annual festival "turns back the clock," transforming Sacramento's historic district into a scene straight out of the 1850s. Costumed re-enactors, Wild West gun fights, musicians playing period instruments, and many aspects of life during the Gold Rush are highlighted during the four-day event.

Chalk It Up - An annual event held Friday through Monday every Labor Day weekend in Fremont Park. Sidewalk squares are sponsored, artists volunteer, and the proceeds benefit arts programs for children. In addition to getting to view artists at work, and their great finished work, there are also bands that play in the park.

Sacrameto Jazz Jubilee - The Sacramento Jazz Festival and Jubilee is a huge event that takes place every Memorial Day weekend. The event includes hundreds of live bands, singers and performers. There's a swing dancing contest, food, and much more!
