Plus, Free Public Concierge Service Debuts to Guide Guests
Sacramento, Calif. – After debuting a series of free activities in October, DOCO (Downtown Commons) is exited to present even more engaging ways guests can explore and discover Sacramento’s newest shopping and lifestyle center during the month of November. Plus, DOCO will debut a free public concierge service with helpful staff available Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays to answer questions, make recommendations, and provide items such as blankets, umbrellas and headsets for guest check-out as needed for events and activities. The concierge Guest Services Desk is located next to DOCO’s popular “On the Green” space that offers giant games like Checkers, Corn Hole, Jenga, Connect Four for free public play.
Surrounded by a mix of locally-owned and national retailers, restaurants, bars and other inviting businesses that continue to open on a rolling basis, a sampling of the planned activities and activations include the following:
