K Street Market 

Building upon the success of slow streets programs and Al Fresco dining, Old Sacramento Waterfront is bringing back an Al Fresco Market on K Street on weekends this spring.  We will be opening the space up for pedestrians, bicyclists, with shaded places to sit or play complementary games, while listening to live music and exploring the market offerings. 

Live performances include: 

  • David Molina
  • Nikki Perez
  • Sid Morris, and more! 

One of the highlights of the past few years is that cities all over the world, including Sacramento, have had opportunities to experiment with recalibrating our public realm to best serve the people who enjoy them.  This program prioritizes the pedestrian and creates a dynamic central plaza in the heart of Old Sacramento Waterfront featuring local vendors and artists, enhancing our guest experience on bustling Sundays and providing an opportunity to enjoy active transportation from DOCO to the Sacramento River.

Join us to see what there is to find in Old Sacramento Waterfront every Sunday from April 6 – June 1 from 11 AM – 6 PM. 

Dance on the Edge

Join us Saturday April 5th and 19th from 6PM – 10PM for a night of music, movement, and community at Dance On The Edge’s Latin Dance Market. Start with a free dance lesson—no experience or partner needed—then dance the night away to salsa, bachata, and cumbia.

Explore a vibrant vendor market featuring local businesses, artisans, and delicious food. Whether you’re here to dance, shop, or simply enjoy the atmosphere, this event is open to all.

Bring your friends, family, or come solo—everyone is welcome. See you on the dance floor!
