Waterfront Adventures Await at Third Thursday
Summer adventures don’t always require leaving this city, sometimes they’re waiting around the next corner.
On Thursday, June 18 from 4–8 PM, Third Thursday returns to the Old Sacramento Waterfront with this month’s theme: Waterfront Adventures. Explore the district after hours with free workshops, live demonstrations, hands-on activities, and creative experiences hosted by local merchants throughout the neighborhood.
This month is all about discovering something new. Learn a skill, get crafty, catch some live music, or wander into a shop you’ve never stepped inside before. Most activities are drop-in friendly, so you can explore at your own pace all evening long.
Need a pit stop between adventures? Enjoy a complimentary Classic Wine Tasting and happy hour specials at Felićita Wine Co., then keep the evening going at Finnegan’s Pub with 20% off when you show proof of purchase from a participating location.
