NEW YEAR’S EVE EVENTS IN THE SACRAMENTO AREA

DEC 2016

We can hardly believe that 2016 is almost over. There is no better way to celebrate the successes, memories and events of 2016 than with family and friends at a local event or special dinner in the city. And of course, this is also an opportunity to make a toast to 2017 and look forward to a fresh start at the beginning of another new year.

Celebrate all of the above at a special New Year’s Eve event or prix fixe dinner served at one of Sacramento’s best restaurants!
