I think this block especially has been kind of dead for the last couple months,&#8221;  said Kyle Lucas, a bartender at Parkside Sacramento. &#8220;So it&#8217;s nice to have a lot of people come out, you know, go to restaurants, bars, and just happy bodies out here.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"8\">Solomon Tippens, who spent time at the ice rink, said, &#8220;It\u2019s the holiday season, and you know a lot of family is out traveling. You know, it just brings a lot of comfort and happiness to the area where we are at because you don\u2019t normally see a lot of things like this in Sacramento.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"9\">Parkside Sacramento also shared plans to host EDM-style parties in collaboration with the ice rink later this year, with announcements expected soon.<\/p>\n<p data-node-id=\"10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kcra.com\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">See more coverage of top California stories here<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kcra.com\/article\/get-kcra-news-on-the-go-download\/44039145\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Download our app<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kcra.com\/subscribe\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Subscribe to our morning newsletter<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@KCRA\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Find us on YouTube here and subscribe to our channel<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The downtown Sacramento ice rink is drawing visitors and increasing foot traffic to local businesses, creating a lively&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":519199,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[2820,599,15017,8697,387,7,30472,11273,89566,23615,107717,6787,59282,198956,41788,15322,198961,56100,42147,20628,198960,198954,25450,1741,198959,198952,592,198957,121,80125,108135,123,59278,122,198953,198958,198955],"class_list":["post-519198","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sacramento","tag-app","tag-area","tag-bar","tag-bars","tag-business","tag-california","tag-comfort","tag-crowd","tag-crowds","tag-download","tag-downtown-businesses","tag-downtown-sacramento","tag-downtown-sacramento-ice-rink","tag-edm-parties","tag-foot-traffic","tag-holiday-season","tag-host-edm-style-party","tag-ice-rink","tag-ice-skating","tag-k-street","tag-k-street-business","tag-kyle-lucas","tag-local-restaurants","tag-lot","tag-nearby-restaurant","tag-parkside-sacramento","tag-people","tag-restaurant-traffic","tag-sacramento","tag-sacramento-business","tag-sacramento-businesses","tag-sacramento-headlines","tag-sacramento-ice-rink","tag-sacramento-news","tag-sareh-basharat","tag-shopping-district","tag-solomon-tippens"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519198","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=519198"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/519198\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/519199"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=519198"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=519198"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=519198"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
