Midtown Love is an annual celebration of the arts and Sacramento’s creative community, all in support of Midtown Association and Midtown Second Saturday programming. Each year, Midtown Love presented by SKK Developments showcases local talent through live performances, interactive art experiences, and opportunities to connect with fellow community members.
Guests enjoy an evening filled with art, culture, and culinary experiences curated by local chefs, beverage partners, and creators. From unique food and drink offerings to immersive installations and unforgettable performances, the event highlights the best of Midtown’s energy and creativity.
Thanks to your support through sponsorships, ticket purchases, and contributions to our “Adopt-a-Duck” raffle, in 2025 we raised $84,175 to help sustain and grow Midtown Second Saturday and support services for Midtown’s small businesses and public spaces.
In 2026, Midtown Love presented by SKK Developments bloomed—literally and figuratively. This year’s celebration coincided with the debut of Fremont Park Bloom, our signature placemaking project at Fremont Park inspired by the California poppy. Like the poppy, Fremont Bloom was designed to unfold in bright, joyful layers throughout the park, bringing art, color, and growth to the heart of Midtown.
On Thursday, May 7, 2026 from 6 – 9 p.m., this exclusive VIP fundraiser supported the Midtown Parks 501(c)(3), Midtown Association’s small business support services, and the creative spirit of Midtown Second Saturday programming. Marking the next evolution of both our arts and parks programming, as Midtown Love was a signature celebration that launched the 2026 Midtown Second Saturday season and our year-round commitment to elevating public arts and placemaking.
Support for the event was made possible by ticket purchases, sponsorships, and raffle entries. Missed out on this year’s Midtown Love but still want to support? You can make a donation directly to Midtown Parks or
