This affluent East Sacramento neighborhood of historic mansions is the region's best-known holiday lights destination, with a decorating tradition dating back to at least the 1980s. Visitors can stroll or drive the streets, or book horse-drawn carriage, brew bike, or tuk tuk tours through operators like Top Ranch Carriage Company, Sacramento Brew Bike, and Capital Tuk Tuk.
Best time to arrive. Sunset in Sacramento is around 4:46 PM in mid-December, fully dark by about 5:16 PM. A typical December night here bottoms out near 38°F, so dress for standing around outside.
