Gold Rush Days (Sept. 3-5)
Clocks will be turned back in Old Sacramento's historic district this weekend, transforming into a scene straight out of the 1850s. Hundreds of costumed performers will bring history to life, while bluegrass pickers and old-timey musicians perform on several stages, evoking the vivid tunes of the times.
One special feature is Tent City. It's a re-creation of early town life that includes a saloon, a gambling tent, a doctor, a dentist, and even an undertaker. Tent City also offers a variety of tasty treats available for purchase. Kids can take part in gold panning and trade their findings for Gold Rush currency.
There will be performances daily, including historic reenactments of Sacramento's legendary history, at the Eagle Theatre and on multiple stages around Old Sacramento.
