Inaugural “DOCO Summer Classic” Weekend to Include a
Cornhole Tournament & Special Plaza Activations, July 31-August 1
Sacramento, Calif. – Ahead of the California Classic NBA Summer League at Golden 1 Center on August 3-4, DOCO (Downtown Commons) and the Sacramento Kings are pleased to announce an inaugural DOCO Summer Classic. The special weekend of family-friendly activations will take place on July 31-August 1 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. and feature a Cornhole Tournament – open to all ages and skill levels – in partnership with the California Cornhole Association.
The Cornhole Tournament will consist of 16 courts set up on the main DOCO plaza area with Saturday’s matchups focused on novice/backyard players and Sunday for advanced/competitive players. While walk-ups are welcome (if space is available), interested cornhole players can register in teams of two by visiting the California Cornhole Association’s link. Proceeds from participation will be donated to the Sacramento Food Bank & Family Services. Cornhole sets, DOCO gift cards, cash prizes and trophies will be awarded to the tournament winners.
The DOCO Summer Classic event will also include numerous free Kids’ Zone activities such as inflatables, a rock-climbing wall, games, interactive entertainment, balloon twisters and hand-painters. In the west plaza area, in partnership with Verge Center for the Arts, a talented local artist will create a canvas mural alongside an Olympics Watch Zone viewing area featuring a large-scale LED screen. In addition, many DOCO merchants throughout the plaza will offer giveaways, specials and/or samples. A popular Makers Market will be set-up on Saturday for guests to shop for handmade specialty items in the spacious, open-air environment and live music and DJ performances along with a food and beverage area will be available throughout the weekend.
