🌍 About Sacramento

Sacramento built itself on the railroad: it was the western terminus of the first transcontinental line, and the California State Railroad Museum in Old Sacramento keeps 19 steam locomotives plus the original golden spike from the 1869 ceremony that joined the coasts. The city brands itself America's Farm-to-Fork Capital, which is earned — it sits in the Central Valley, surrounded by orchards and the tomato fields that supply much of the country's canned and processed tomatoes, and the produce-driven restaurants in Midtown reflect it. Come in September for the free Farm-to-Fork Festival on Capitol Mall, when highs sit near 79°F and the Delta breeze cools the evenings. Avoid July and August — 100°F days are routine. Spring (April–June) is the other reliably pleasant, deal-friendly window.
