Shop, Play, Win: Old Sacramento Small Business Spree Bingo
This holiday season, Old Sacramento Waterfront turns shopping into a game with the Small Business Spree Bingo Card. It’s your chance to explore more than 150 locally-owned businesses, discover unique gifts, make memories with family and friends, and win prizes, like a family four-pack of tickets to the Polar Express Train Ride in 2026, all while supporting the heart of our community.
Shopping small is more than finding great gifts. It’s about building connections. Every time you visit a local shop, you meet people who bring creativity and passion to what they do. You share stories, support dreams, and help keep downtown vibrant.
These moments build a community; they make our city stronger and more connected. Choosing local means investing in Sacramento’s character and creating memories that last long after the holidays.
How It Works
You can pick up your Bingo card at the Visitors Center, after a Polar Express ride, or at the Old Sacramento Waterfront booth during Holidays on K Street, then stroll through Old Sacramento’s historic streets. Each square is an opportunity to check someone off your list with the help of small business owners who value the experience of helping you find the perfect gift.
Once you complete a purchase, you’ll collect a stamp from each business you visit. Check the map for exclusive stamp locations. If you’re doing an experience, snap a photo and show it at the Visitors Center (weekdays) or Holidays on K booth (weekends). Complete your card, and you’ll be entered to win the ultimate prize: a family four-pack of tickets to the Polar Express Train Ride in 2026.
Ways to Win
The more squares you complete, the bigger the prize!
- Bingo: Five in a row (vertical, horizontal, or diagonal)
- Railroad: All perimeter squares
- X: Two diagonal lines
- Blackout: Every square filled
Submit a photo of your completed card by December 31, 2025 to info@oldsacramento.com. Winners will be chosen at random and announced in January 2026.
Make It a Day
Turn your bingo stroll into a full holiday outing. Start at the Old Sacramento Waterfront Visitors Center to grab your Small Business Spree Bingo Card, then head into the festive streets.
Follow your card as a guide to discover gifts for everyone on your holiday list. Pick up sweet treats at Mad Hatter Donuts, find local artisan treasures at Atrium 916, and pause for coffee at Blueprint Coffee before checking off your next square.
When you’re ready for a break, enjoy a cozy meal at Railroad Fish & Chips or make it special with dinner at The Firehouse Restaurant. If you’re visiting from Friday to Sunday, you can end the day under the glow of the Theatre of Lights show.
