It was the allure of Gold that brought people to Sacramento, now the city is alive with a vibrant riverfront, world-renowned museums, shopping, dining and a historic Landmark District. Practice where Sacramento is the star on the map of California and a city where the Sacramento “Kings” and the “Nuggets” reign as sports dynasties. But venture out of Sacramento and find an abundance of local farmland as Americas Farm-to-Fork Capital right here in the State’s Capital. There’s a little something for everyone in and around Sacramento!
