The Sacramento City Council is considering a proposal to expand the city’s Entertainment Zones by adding six new areas. These designated outdoor public spaces would allow patrons to legally consume alcoholic beverages.

The initiative follows pilot programs conducted in 2025 during the Rainbow Festival and Terra Madre Americas events. City officials expect the expansion to boost local economies by encouraging visitors to spend more time and money at nearby bars and restaurants. The proposed zones would cover several neighborhoods, including parts of downtown, Broadway, the Arena area, and Oak Park, with specific locations under consideration such as 9th and I Street, 14th and Broadway, 24th and Broadway, 24th and K Street, the Arena area, and the Oak Park Triangle. A final vote on the expansion is expected on Sept. 15.
