Holiday Events, Activities & Christmas Cheer in Sacramento

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! Sacramento is gearing up for another year full of holiday fun including Theatre of Lights on the Old Sacramento Waterfront, the Downtown Sacramento Ice Rink, Imaginarium at Cal Expo, lighting displays at popular locations like the Fab 40s and Dovewood Court, and so much more!

While you're in town with family this year, treat yourself to a holiday drink – be it hot cocoa or a hot toddy – and support local businesses by buying unique gifts from them to share a little bit of Sacramento with those you love.

If you're coming in from out of town, rather than staying in your childhood bedroom, treat yourself to a Sacramento hotel stay that gives you your own space and keeps you close to all the best holiday activities.
