Description:

From 15th Annual Gold Rush Days Website:

Gold Rush Days Sacramentos heritage celebration Labor Day Weekend 2014.

More than 200 tons of dirt paved the streets of Old Sacramento as this annual festival turned back the clock, transforming Sacramentos historic district into a scene straight out of the 1850s. Hundreds of costumed performers took on the roles of celebrities, personalities and just plain folks, bringing history to life while bluegrass pickers and old-timey Musicians performed on several stages, evoking the vivid tunes of the times.

Activities and Performances included:

-Tent City: A recreation of town life in early Sacramento City where you can visit saloons, a gambling tent, doctors, dentists, and even an undertaker! Tent City also offered a variety of tasty treats available for purchase, including fish & chips, roasted corn on the cob, fresh-made kettle korn, homemade sarsaparilla, root beer, draft ale, local wines, and more!

-Gold Panning: Kids panned for gold and trade in their findings for Gold Rush currency.

-Artisan Alley: Tinsmiths, Blacksmiths, Lace makers and other artisans sold their wares.

-Arts & Crafts Stations

-Melodramas & Musicians: Performances took place daily at the Eagle Theatre and at multiple stages around Old Sacramento

-Squatters Riots & Pony Express Relays: Historic reenactments of Sacramentos legendary history.

-And much, much more!
