Where Being LGBTQ is Always Celebrated

Sacramento prides itself as a safe, fun, and welcoming community for our visitors and residents alike. Sacramento's LGBTQ community continues to grow and to make the city, and in particular, Midtown, a popular destination for visitors of all backgrounds. Midtown is home to Lavender Heights where various gay-owned restaurants, cafes, bars, clubs, retail, and other service-oriented businesses cater not just to the LGBTQ community, but to the community at large. Most importantly, Sacramento welcomes all families to come and enjoy our world-class museums, attractions, events, and hotels.
