Celebrate Graduation in Downtown Sacramento!

Madelyn Smith

Congrats, grad!

Every May, college graduates flood downtown as they prepare to walk the stage of Golden 1 and the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center and Performing Arts Center in their cap and gown. But then what? Whether you’re looking for a place to eat with your family, or go out celebrating, here are some ideas and tips to making the most out of your day.

Plan ahead:

Did you know you can reserve parking garage spaces? Visit SacPark.org and reserve your space ahead of time.

Don’t waste the gas, take SacRT! See the region’s site map on their website here and get updates on free rides they have going.
