Hottest ticket around: Sacramento’s Tower Bridge Dinner offers chance to attend
Sacramento’s top farm-to-fork event, the Tower Bridge Dinner, is held once a year in September and now’s your chance to attend the exclusive event.
Visit Sacramento announced Monday that interested members of the public can enter a random drawing for the chance to buy two tickets to the dinner.
Registration for the random drawing opened at 10 a.m. Monday, July, 13. Registration will be open until 11:59 p.m. on Jul. 24.
How much are tickets to the 2026 Tower Bridge Dinner?
According to the registration page on the Visit Sacramento website, entrants to the random drawing will be signed up to purchase two tickets. Tickets are $350 each, or $700 for two.
Registering for the drawing will require entrants to provide their credit card information. According to Visit Sacramento, the ticketing host Webconnex will “anonymously and randomly select 2026 Tower Bridge Dinner guests from the entrant list” on July 27.
Selected entrants will then be charged for the tickets. Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Only one registration is allowed per entrant and email address, and multiple entries will be voided, noted the website.
According to Visit Sacramento’s chief operating officer, Kari Miskit, 80 public tickets will be available through the drawing, and they are sold in pairs.
Tower Bridge Dinner tickets for the public have been distributed through a lottery since 2016. Though around 800 people usually attend, most tickets are reserved in advance by corporate sponsors.
When is the 2026 Tower Bridge Dinner?
The 2026 Tower Bridge Dinner will take place on Sunday, Sept. 6, from 4:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
This year, the featured chefs are Kate Sutherland of Waterboy, Giancarlo Zapata of Chicha Peruvian Kitchen, Francisco Rivera of Hawks Public House, and Joe Pruner of Bocce, a restaurant slated to open soon in East Sacramento.
The Tower Bridge Dinner dates back to 2013, and, according to Visit Sacramento, proceeds from ticket sales are used to fund other farm-to-fork events as well as scholarships for the children of migrant workers.
The Tower Bridge Dinner takes place on the Tower Bridge linking Sacramento and West Sacramento. The bridge is closed to traffic during the event which highlights the region’s farm-to-fork culture.
