LGBTQ Sacramento

Where LGBTQ people can always find their people

When you visit Sacramento, you'll discover a community where LGBTQ+ people live loudly, proudly, and authentically every day of the year. In Midtown, our Lavender Heights neighborhood is home to a wealth of queer-owned businesses, from cafes and clubs to shops and art galleries. Plus, our LGBTQ+ support services and resources make sure you're seen and supported no matter where you go. Watch a drag show. Take a walking tour. Plan a family outing. Live unapologetically with our LGBTQ+ locals. Whatever you're looking for, Sacramento welcomes you to see and do it all in an inclusive city like no other.
