Downtown Commons (DOCO), presented by Sutter Health, was recently named “Partner of the Year” by Visit Sacramento during its 2026 State of Tourism, one of the region’s premier tourism and hospitality events.
“Receiving the ‘Partner of the Year’ honors from Visit Sacramento reflects what happens when a dedicated property team shows up every day for tenants, visitors, and the community,” said Sacramento Kings President of Business Operations John Rinehart. “DOCO is brought to life by an incredible mix of small business owners, inspired merchants, and innovative operators who continually introduce fresh concepts, memorable dining, and family-friendly experiences. Together, they have created a dynamic district that offers something special for locals and visitors alike, helping define Sacramento as a destination and showcasing the energy and creativity of our city.”
Sacramento welcomes more than 15 million visitors annually, and DOCO plays a central role in the city’s tourism landscape. Located in the heart of downtown, the destination connects residents and visitors alike to some of Sacramento’s best dining, entertainment, retail, and community experiences.
“DOCO really embodies the spirit of a true partner,” said Visit Sacramento President & CEO Mike Testa “We continue to be grateful for their willingness to think outside of the box and to go above and beyond to create unforgettable experiences for our visitors. They approach collaboration with ideas that aren’t just best for their business, but for the entire hospitality community.”
The Partner of the Year recognition adds to DOCO’s growing list of industry accolades. The iconic plaza has also earned multiple MAXI Awards from ICSC (International Council of Shopping Centers) in 2019, 2020, and 2021 in Experiential, Innovation, and Community categories for a variety of elevated activations including DOCO Al Fresco, DOCO Block Party, DOCO Farm-to-Fork Brunch, and “On the Green” Community Event Series.
DOCO is an outdoor shopping, dining, and entertainment destination in the heart of downtown Sacramento. Convenient parking is available in DOCO’s central garage with an entrance on J Street between 4th & 5th Streets. Parking validation is available at most DOCO tenants with a purchase. The elevators and escalators take guests up to the plaza’s main level and second level terrace near many of the restaurants, eateries, and retail tenants.
