Marking its 10th anniversary Macy’s light show, the Downtown Commons (DOCO) is once again giving revelers a real treat this Christmas. Getting into the holiday spirit check out the party mood on K Street (between Front and 2nd Street) and the best part? It’s free!
So make your way over to the Old Sacramento Waterfront, spanning eight blocks across downtown. Even if you don’t get there Christmas time, it’s a great place to visit any time of the year, featuring more than 100 businesses independently operated at different hours of the day. Restaurants and other entertainment are also offered.
For example the museums there provide a wonderful history lesson and the setting is the California Gold Rush and Transcontinental Railroad. Plus, within this theme, the streets there become Gold Rush Days every Labor Day Weekend, reminiscent of 1849 Old Sacramento Waterfront.
So even if you miss the Christmas festivities, go back in time and take a wagon ride, participate in a gunfight and look at living history characters.
