Beginning June 19, more than a dozen businesses will open their doors to let customers peek behind the curtain, providing a live demonstration or artist activation between 4-8 p.m. that showcases their business. The newest Third Thursdays at the Old Sacramento Waterfront encourages guests to get more familiar with the unique businesses in Sacramento’s original historic neighborhood.
“Old Sacramento Waterfront has always been a crown jewel of tourism for the Sacramento region, but not as many Sacramentans are familiar with its local charm,” said Michael Ault, Executive Director of Downtown Sacramento Partnership. “The unique, locally-owned businesses here are full of character and community, waiting for people to slow down and take time to explore them.”
“We’re excited to kick off Third Thursdays! This vibrant community is home to talented artisans, makers, and designers who are eager to share their craft and connect with locals,” said Maggie Baker, owner of Threadeco in Old Sacramento Waterfront. “We hope this event inspires more people to discover the incredible small businesses here and enjoy a more relaxed Thursday evening vibe as the tradition continues to grow over the summer.”
