Presented by the Old Sacramento Business Association (OSBA) in cooperation with Downtown Sacramento Foundation (DSF), the City of Sacramento and Old Sacramento merchants and small business owners, Theatre of Lights artfully mixes the historic charm of Old Sacramento with state-of-the-art sound and lighting technology to create a memorable and visually-exciting holiday experience for visitors of all ages.
With new storytelling elements incorporated this year, Old Sacramento’s Theatre of Lights blends a symphony of lights, sounds and visual effects that transport the audience back in time with a reading of the famous poem The Night Before Christmas by Clement Clarke Moore. The narrated reading of the powerful and nostalgic poem is brought to life through theatrical elements and visually-exciting lighting choreography that takes place on the balconies and rooftops of Old Sacramento’s historic buildings located on K Street between Front and 2nd Streets.
The first Theatre of Lights performance of the season will coincide with the much-anticipated lighting of the City of Sacramento’s official Christmas tree on Wednesday evening, November 27 (the night before Thanksgiving) with ceremonies that begin at 6 p.m. Two 20-minute Theatre of Lights performances are offered each scheduled evening at 6:15 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. with special holiday shows on Christmas Eve at 6:15 p.m. and New Year’s Eve at 7 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. (rain or shine).
And, as a special -- and often surprising -- treat on many nights, local celebrities and influential community members will entertain the audience in the guest role of “papa,” wearing a stocking cap and oftentimes decked out in holiday pajamas.
Community members are encouraged to make Old Sacramento a must-visit holiday destination to experience the magical Theatre of Lights performances every season and also support the array of locally-owned businesses, shops and eateries available in Old Sacramento.
More information about Theatre of Lights performances or other events and activities presented by the OSBA is available by calling 916-442-8575 or visiting oldsacramento.com.
