Holidays on K Street: Saturdays and Sundays through November 28 – December 20 | 12 PM–4:40 PM.

What is Holiday on K Street? A festive car-free corridor where you can roam K Street freely with open seating, lawn games, pop-up vendors, and holiday events.

2. Turn Holiday Shopping and Activities into a Game of Bingo
Take a stroll through Old Sacramento Waterfront and visit the neighborhood’s local businesses. Each square features a holiday-themed activity to complete, giving you a reason to explore unique finds, try something new, or find a gift for someone on your list.

Not every activity requires a purchase! While some squares involve shopping or spending a certain amount, others focus on holiday experiences and activities. When you complete activities listed on your bingo card, take a photo to ensure that you receive a stamp.

3. Collect Stamps to Win Prizes
Once you complete an activity at a participating business, ask a store team member to stamp the corresponding square on your card. Keep your card handy as you shop to receive stamps. You can complete the squares at your own pace throughout the season.

Need to verify a photo activity to receive a stamp? You can show photos of your completed activities to staff at Holidays on K or the Visitors Center on weekends.

4. Get a Bingo!
This game lasts all season long. You can submit your bingo card for prizes up to four times until Dec 31. Small Business Spree Bingo offers several ways to complete a bingo:

Four in a row: Complete four consecutive squares horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.
The X: Complete both diagonal lines across the center of your card.
Blackout: Complete every square on your card.
Railroad Tracks: Complete the border squares all the way around your card.

Every completed bingo gives you another opportunity to enter, up to four entries per person. Keep playing, collect those stamps, and win! Every entry you submit, gets you a guaranteed prize.

5. How Do You Enter to Win?
Once you complete a bingo, take a photo of your finished card and email it to info@oldsacramento.com.

Here are the important details to keep in mind:
– Entry deadline: December 31, 2026.

Supporting Local Businesses Comes with Rewards

Small Business Spree Bingo is about more than checking off your holiday shopping list. It’s a chance to find a new favorite shop, try an activity you might have otherwise skipped, and experience Old Sacramento Waterfront during one of the most festive times of year.
