Coming in from out of town? Book your stay through our partner hotels and get a discounted festival rate just minutes from Cal Expo. Rooms fill fast over Thanksgiving weekend — reserve early.
Thousands of families travel to Sacramento for the New Year. We work with hotels near Cal Expo to hold a block of rooms at a discounted festival rate so our guests can stay close to the celebration.
