GLBT
Over the past few years, Sacramento’s gay and lesbian community has grown to make the city, and in particular, Midtown, a popular destination for visitors of all interests. Midtown is home to Lavender Heights where various gay-owned restaurants, cafes, bars, clubs, retail and other service-oriented businesses cater not just to the GLBT community, but to the community at large. Many are involved in the city’s gay and lesbian community events.
