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.

Kid's fairytales come alive at Fairytale Town. The whimsical park is lined with brightly colored storybook-inspired play sets and attractions like King Arthur's Castle and the Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe Slide. Children's imaginations bring to life their favorite nursery rhymes and the outdoor museum tickles their interest in art, gardening, puppet shows and much more.

Hidden in the heart of downtown Sacramento, The Inn and Spa at Parkside is a chic and elegant mansion and spa. Your urban oasis is complete with gourmet breakfasts, Italian arias, and candlelit evenings. While visiting Parkside, you're just a stone's throw from the California State Capital and an hour away from Lake Tahoe.

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.
