Gold Rush Days in Old Sacramento

Labor Day Weekend

SACRAMENTO - More than 200 tons of dirt will be dumped on the streets of Old Sacramento as the annual Gold Rush Days festival will “turn back the clock,” transforming Sacramento’s historic district into a scene straight out of the 1850s. Costumed re-enactors, Wild West gun fights, musicians playing period instruments, and many aspects of life during the Gold Rush will be highlighted during the four-day event. Only horse-drawn vehicles and pedestrians are allowed in the National Landmark District and State Historic Park during this fun and festive event!
