Concerts: Bonnie Raitt Sacramento 2026: Where to Stay Near Channel 24

Bonnie Raitt's Live 2026 tour plays Channel 24 in Sacramento on June 5-6. Stay at City of Trees House — 15 min away, private hot tub, game room, full weekend to fill.

Bonnie Raitt at Channel 24: June 5 and June 6, 2026

Bonnie Raitt is bringing her Live 2026 tour to Channel 24 in Sacramento for two nights — Friday, June 5 and Saturday, June 6. Both shows start at 7:30 PM, with special guest Maia Sharp opening each night. Channel 24 is at 1800 24th Street in Sacramento's Midtown neighborhood, and tickets are available through Ticketmaster. One thing worth knowing going in: these shows carry a strict no photos or no recording policy. That means you go in, put the phone away, and actually listen to one of the great American musicians doing what she does. Honestly, that sounds right.

We're Ryan and Ashley, your hosts at City of Trees House in West Sacramento. We've been welcoming music fans to Sacramento for concert weekends since 2017 — Journey, Gabriel Iglesias, country festivals, baseball games — and a two-night Bonnie Raitt run at a venue like Channel 24 is the kind of event that deserves a real Sacramento weekend built around it. Not just one show and an early checkout. Here's how we'd plan it.

Where to Stay for Bonnie Raitt in Sacramento

City of Trees House is a 3-bedroom, 2-bath private home in West Sacramento, about 15 minutes by car or rideshare from Channel 24. It sleeps six comfortably, which makes this a natural fit for a group of friends coming in for both nights — the couples who have been Bonnie Raitt fans since "Nick of Time" came out in 1989, the friends who saw "Something to Talk About" live and never forgot it, the people who want a concert trip that feels like a real getaway and not just a hotel stay.

The whole house is yours for the stay — no shared hallways, no lobby noise, no hotel breakfast lines. You have a full kitchen, a gourmet outdoor kitchen and grill in the backyard, and a neon game room with a pool table, vintage arcade games, ping pong, and darts. The game room is where a concert trip turns into an actual trip: somewhere comfortable and private to land before the shows, to decompress after them, and to play out an argument about who is actually better — Bonnie or Emmylou, Bonnie or Joni — that nobody wins and everybody enjoys.

The Hot Tub Factor

The backyard hot tub runs at 104 degrees and holds six people. In early June in Sacramento, the evenings cool into the upper 60s after 9 or 10 PM — that specific California summer window where sitting in a hot tub under string lights in a private backyard is exactly the right call. After two hours of live music at Channel 24, the rideshare back to West Sacramento, and the slow realization that you just heard "I Can't Make You Love Me" performed live: you are going to want that hot tub. We have found this to be true for almost every music weekend group that has stayed with us.

Getting to Channel 24 from City of Trees House

Channel 24 is in Midtown Sacramento, roughly 15 minutes from the house by rideshare or car. Midtown parking on Friday and Saturday concert nights can be tight, so Uber or Lyft is usually the cleaner call — the ride is short, drops you close to the venue, and means your whole group can enjoy the shows without a designated driver situation. Budget for both nights of rideshare and tip well; Sacramento drivers are dealing with concert traffic both directions.

If you prefer to drive: Tower Bridge to downtown Sacramento, then south on any main arterial to the Midtown grid. Street parking exists near the venue but fills early on concert nights. The rideshare option is easier and not expensive for such a short distance.

Building the Full Weekend: Friday Through Sunday

Friday: Arrive, Get Settled, First Show

Arrive at City of Trees House on Friday afternoon. Drop your bags, walk the West Sacramento neighborhood, check out the Tower Bridge and the Sacramento River levee — it's a beautiful introduction to the area and only takes 20 minutes. Get back to the house and make dinner at home if you want a relaxed pre-show meal, or head into Midtown early for dinner near the venue. Lucca Restaurant and Bar is a Sacramento institution in the area — Italian, solid wine list, good atmosphere for a Friday night out before a concert. Another easy option: the R Street Corridor in Midtown has a strong concentration of restaurants and bars within walking distance of Channel 24.

Doors typically open 30-60 minutes before showtime. The Studio 24 VIP upgrade — sold separately through Ticketmaster — includes early entry, access to a balcony-level viewing section, a private lounge, and a private bar with included hors d'oeuvres. It's not a concert ticket on its own but adds up to a meaningfully different experience if you want it. Worth considering for at least one of the two nights.

Saturday: River Morning, Second Show Night

Sacramento summer mornings are best before 10 AM, before the valley heat builds. City of Trees House is a 10-minute walk from the Tower Bridge, which connects West Sacramento to Old Sacramento across the Sacramento River. On a Saturday June morning, crossing the bridge on foot and walking north along the river levee is one of the better things you can do in Sacramento — cottonwood shade, Delta breeze, the city skyline visible from the east bank. The walk takes as long as you want it to and costs nothing.

Saturday afternoon: the Sacramento Central Farmers Market runs on Saturdays in Midtown, with local produce, California specialty foods, and good Sacramento energy. It's a short rideshare from the house. Pick up lunch, bring it back to the patio, fire up the outdoor grill for the afternoon. Then the second Bonnie Raitt show on Saturday night — same Channel 24, same 7:30 PM, and if anything the energy is better because you already know how good Friday was.

Sunday: Coffee, Riverfront, Checkout

Old Soul Co. is a West Sacramento roastery beloved by locals, with exceptional coffee and a relaxed morning space that is genuinely one of the better places to start a Sunday in this city. It's close to City of Trees House and a much better exit than a hotel lobby checkout. After coffee: Old Sacramento Waterfront is a 15-minute walk across the Tower Bridge — restored Gold Rush-era buildings, the waterfront, River Walk, the California Railroad Museum if you have time before checkout. Easy and genuinely worth it for a final Sacramento morning.

Sutter Health Park Is Seven Minutes Away

The Sacramento River Cats and the Oakland A's both play at Sutter Health Park in West Sacramento — seven minutes on foot from City of Trees House. If you're building a full Bonnie Raitt weekend and want to add a baseball afternoon, check the Sutter Health Park schedule for June 5-8. There are almost certainly day games on Friday and Saturday before the evening shows, which means you could do River Cats afternoon baseball followed by Bonnie Raitt night shows on both days. That is a Sacramento weekend. That is the trip.

The walk to Sutter Health Park follows the levee path along the Sacramento River, with Tower Bridge views and the Sacramento skyline visible from the park's upper sections. It's one of those walks that guests consistently mention when they leave — unexpected and exactly right for a summer afternoon in West Sacramento.
