GoldenSky Country Music Festival will return to October 18-20 at Discovery Park in Sacramento, California. In 2023, the festival broke its previous attendance records with 60,000 guests over two days.

- The Farmhouse, which serves up local food experiences that show off why Sacramento is the farm-to-fork capital of America.
- Sidelines Sports Bar, where NCAA and NFL games will be shown.
- El Dorado Market, where festival attendees can shop small and local businesses.
- River City Dance Hall & Saloon, where you can show off your boot-scootin’ boogie skills. Line dancing, partner two-stepping and lessons will happen daily. When the sun goes down, a house DJ will take over. And if that’s not enough for you, take a ride on Billy, the house bull, to test your rodeo skills.
- Wines of Sacramento, where California wines take center stage.
“We are thrilled that GoldenSky is expanding to three days next year, bringing an unbeatable lineup to Northern California,” said Mike Testa, President & CEO of Visit Sacramento. “We can’t wait to welcome the amazing fans back to Sacramento for another festival experience like no other. If you’re a country music fan, this is the place you have to be in October.”
