second saturday sacramento
On the second Saturday of each month, galleries in Sacramento, California stay open for a Sacramento Art Walk late into the evening, allowing people to walk from gallery to gallery, viewing, experiencing and discovering local art galleries and meeting artists. more info →
Second Saturday is a night to wander about, visit galleries and have fun! You can meet the artists, people watch, socialize and enjoy time with friends and maybe buy a piece of art or two and then enjoy a bite to eat at one of the dozens of restaurants.
START EARLY!
most Sacramento art galleries are open all day, with some closing for a few hours before they reopen at 6pm, and many close as early as 9pm. Consider starting early - as almost all galleries close by 10pm and most as early as 9.
While galleries all over Sacramento participate, galleries are clustered into two main areas: Midtown Sacramento and along Del Paso Boulevard in the Uptown Art District. Both of these areas supports a thriving and innovative arts community. The venues' close proximity, walkable streets, interesting boutiques and restaurants make these areas perfect for a leisurely walk. More galleries are opening in downtown and Old Sacramento, as well.

We recommend visiting galleries FIRST then grabbing a bite to eat - as most galleries close by 9pm; however most restaurants stay open late on Second Saturdays. Still have questions? Visit our Common Questions about 2nd Saturdays
