Skip over to the docks of Old Sacramento and board the 1920s paddle-wheeler Delta King Hotel Riverboat. Come aboard to enjoy the scenic river and its boating activity, exciting theatrical performances at the Capital Theater, causal dining and live entertainment at the Pilothouse Restaurant, and charming staterooms for overnight stays. You won't find another attraction like it.
Waltz on over to the Strauss Festival of Elk Grove. Sit on the grassy knoll near the river's edge and enjoy the beautifully costumed waltz and polka dancers perform to symphonic sounds of the 32-piece Johann Strauss Jr. and family orchestra. The annual event draws an audience of 30,000, so call ahead and reserve your spot on the lawn.
Music lovers in love: put a romantic spin on your next date and spend a Saturday night being serenaded at East Sacramento's Pops in the Park. Bring your favorite blanket and low-back chairs for comfy sitting. Enjoy holding hands and sitting close together while hearing live music. A neighborhood tradition since 1995, the park has hosted concerts from classic rock-n-roll to electrify/violinist concerts.
Step into Sacramento's nightlife at ultra-chic Mix Downtown. You'll find the best seat in the house is the swanky rooftop lounge with chairs and ottomans arranged in semicircles around blazing fire pits. Signature martinis and handcrafted cocktails flow and superstar DJs spin the hottest dance club sounds.
