A Fresh Year of Flavor: Dine Downtown Returns for its 21st Year

Restaurants announced and menus released for the 21st year of Dine Downtown, from January 9 to 18 with $45 pre-fixe 3-course meals

Downtown Sacramento Partnership is welcoming the new year with the 21st annual Dine Downtown, announcing 30 exceptional participating restaurants and unveilng many of the specially curated menus created for this year’s event. Once again, guests can enjoy three-course dinners for just $45 from January 9 to January 18, 2026, offering an accessible way to experience some of downtown’s most elevated dining at an exceptional value.

This year’s program also continues Downtown Sacramento Partnership’s long-standing commitment to giving back. Opening Doors has been selected as the official nonprofit partner, receiving one dollar from every Dine Downtown meal sold. Opening Doors empowers more than 4,500 immigrants, refugees, and trafficking survivors each year across Sacramento by providing workforce development, entrepreneurship training, financial empowerment, immigration legal services, and social-support programs that foster stability, self-sufficiency, and belonging.

Launched in 2005, Dine Downtown was created to support local restaurants during a typically slower season. Over the past two decades, the program has generated over $7 million in sales for central city eateries, helping solidify Sacramento’s reputation as a vibrant culinary destination and making high-quality dining experiences more accessible to residents and visitors alike.
