Gold Rush Days in Old Sacramento

Sacramento’s heritage celebration-is scheduled for Labor Day Weekend. More than 200 tons of dirt will be 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. Hundreds of costumed performers take on the roles of celebrities, personalities and just plain folks, bringing history to life while bluegrass pickers and old-timey Musicians perform on several stages, evoking the vivid tunes of the times.  Activities include  a Tent City where you can visit saloons, a gambling tent, doctors, dentists, and even an undertaker! Tent City will also offer a variety of tasty treats available for purchase. Additionally, there will be gold panning, pony rides, an artisan alley, and much more.

Tower Garage and the Old Sacramento Garage (I Street entrance) will have pre-paid parking, $8.
