Old Sacramento's Garden of Enchantment
When October arrives, all I can think of are leaves changing color, crisp air, harvest moons and of course, Halloween. One of the best places to be enchanted this month is Evangeline’s Haunted Mansion in Old Sacramento. Even if you’re not looking for a costume or accessories for the alter ego, it’s almost like a Halloween theme park. Set within 3 stories of a Gold Rush-era building, this place will force your imagination to run wild.
Just across the street toward 2nd, further magic can be found at the Garden of Enchantment. Filled to the brim with crystals, jewelry, wind chimes, music, gifts, paper goods and seemingly unlimited items of charm, this shop will likely both delight and draw out your sensual side.

There is something special about Sacramento; the rich land upon which she was built, the rivers that flow through her, the bounty around her and the people who make it their home.
Life is good in California’s Capital City for many reasons, including climate and geography, community and amenities, nature and wildlife, and more. It’s hard to imagine a warmer feeling than a sunshine-drenched morning here, an easier feeling than a refreshing spring day, or a more engaging experience than a night on the town after a cleansing rain.
There’s truly something for everyone and every mood, for Sacramento is a shifting entity itself, with four distinct but relatively mild seasons, diverse neighborhoods and people, a ripening food and restaurant scene, year-round events and outdoor fun, and daytime and nighttime adventures. Its magic is a blend of history and tradition, vision and reinvention. And there’s so much pleasure to be had here – with family and friends, food and wine, adventures and experiences – that they’re likely to create the kind of fond memories that might seem so familiar… but aren’t quite like any other.
