Sacramento is a city of
art, architecture, wining, dining, brew pubs and simply the finer things
in life. 2nd Saturday Art Walk is a perfect example of what stirs
locals to get out and enjoy Midtown. Dressed in designer jeans and waste
length jackets containing fabrics from leather to cotton or wool during
the winter months, people of all ages congregate at local galleries such
as 20th Street Art. Fine wines are offered usually at no charge to
accompany art and live music. As popular as the lines formed to see a
rare exhibit of Picasso originals, the event fills the galleries to
capacity standing room only crowds.
Afterwards, couples and
groups wander to nearby restaurants and clubs to grab a bite to eat, sip
on cocktails or visit Winko, The One Man Band playing in the Acoustic
Sanctuary.
While Sacramento has no
beaches, it enjoys a beautiful riverfront setting and a cosmopolitan
environment with warm hospitality to greet a steady influx of people who
come to see or do business at the California State Capitol.
Sacramento is also home to over 20 excellent museums and an authentic
Old West district with dining, hotels, shops and boardwalks overlooking
the river.
For a weekend getaway or
even a day's journey by air, book a flight to Sacramento to enjoy the
ambiance. It feels authentic and so do its citizens, who generally
welcome guests to enjoy their home. Many special events throughout the
year fill the hotels so be sure to plan ahead, check the calendar and if
you prefer, plan your trip attend the popular events such as a huge
Dixieland Jazz Festival held annually.
