Description of Program and Relief

Farm-to-Fork Al Fresco Outdoor Dining Program

The City of Sacramento’s Farm-to-Fork Al Fresco outdoor dining program enables local restaurants to expand their outdoor dining facilities under certain conditions. For restaurants seeking to expand dining facilities into public sidewalks, streets or adjacent parking areas, the City is expediting the permit process to facilitate participation in the program. For restaurants seeking to expand into privately-owned parking areas, there is no need to obtain City permits; guidelines for private parking lot dining can be found here.

All restaurants must still abide by COVID-19 related health mandates.
