Learn from Creatives During Third Thursdays in Old Sacramento
Third Thursdays are back at the Old Sacramento Waterfront, and May’s theme is all about celebrating the makers and creatives that bring the district to life.
On Thursday, May 21 from 4–8 PM, explore Old Sacramento after hours with free hands-on workshops, live demonstrations, open studios, and creative pop-ins hosted by local merchants throughout the neighborhood. Whether you’re feeling crafty, curious, or just looking for a different way to spend your evening downtown, this is the kind of experience that makes you want to hangout and explore a little longer.
This month’s theme, “May Makers,” highlights the artists, small businesses, and creative minds that make Old Sacramento feel full of character. Most workshops are drop-in friendly, so you can explore at your own pace throughout your time at Third Thursday.
