It’s time to raise your fork to America’s Farm-to-Fork Capital! Dine Downtown is returning to Sacramento for its 21st annual celebration of local restaurants from Jan. 9-18, 2026.
Participating restaurants are offering a three-course, prix-fixe dinner menu that allows you to sample the best of what America’s Farm-to-Fork Capital has to offer for only $45 per person. During Dine Downtown, several of the restaurants will be hosting special guest chefs and menus.
With January being a historically slower month for restaurants, Dine Downtown was created to give local restaurants a boost in business during this time. This year, the Downtown Sacramento Partnership is partnering with Opening Doors, which empowers more than 4,500 immigrants, refugees, and trafficking survivors each year across Sacramento by providing workforce development, entrepreneurship training, financial empowerment, immigration legal services, and social-support programs. $1 from every meal sold from a Dine Downtown menu will be donated to Opening Doors.
