About Midtown Association
Midtown Association started as a collection of passionate business and property owners that banded together to improve the neighborhood in 1985. Midtown has since grown to be the arts and entertainment core of Sacramento with a dynamic Property Business Improvement District serving over 1,200 properties through three property district zones, two restaurant districts, and six active and growing parks.
Today, the mission of the Midtown Association is to make Midtown the center for culture, creativity and vibrancy in Sacramento’s urban core. The organization is behind many incredible art, landscaping and lighting projects, efforts to keep our community clean and safe, well-known events like Midtown Second Saturday and the Midtown Farmers Market and acts as the voice of the community to create a vibrant and lively neighborhood full of character.

How to Join Midtown Association
As a nonprofit organization dedicated to the enhancement of Midtown, Midtown Association provides these special Property Business Improvement District-specific services to assessed commercial properties across the 104 blocks located within the Midtown Zone. These properties are indicated in the red area on the map below and are generally bound by 16th street, J street, 29th street and R street. However, properties that fall just outside of these boundaries may still be eligible to join the district by requesting a property assessment.
Properties and businesses that join the district receive special services and help support Midtown Association’s goals to contribute towards a beautified Midtown that sees economic growth, improved infrastructure and reduced crime. They can also expect to see:
- Annual savings on security, exterior cleaning and maintenance without having to contract with multiple companies
- Opportunities to contribute to, and network at, district committee meetings
