Midtown Second Saturday Resources

Local galleries, venues, artists, and small businesses are invited to take part in Midtown Second Saturday!

Second Saturday is a monthly Sacramento tradition that highlights the bounty of arts and expression that exist throughout Sacramento. In the months of May – October, Midtown Association creates special programming and resources for our local galleries, venues, artists, and small businesses that are interested in taking advantage of Midtown Second Saturday and the influx of visitors that we see during this season. For 2026, there are a variety of opportunities and resources available through Midtown Association.
