Sacramento doesn’t often get a world-class electronic music event planted on the Capitol Mall. On Sunday, November 1, 2026, it does. Eric Prydz—the Swedish DJ and producer behind some of the most recognizable tracks in dance music—is bringing his show to Capitol Mall Greens in front of the California State Capitol from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. It’s the day after Halloween, and the vibe matches: the event actively encourages attendees to show up in Halloween and Day of the Dead costumes.
Who Is Eric Prydz?
If the name is new to you, the music probably isn’t. Prydz is the Swedish producer behind “Pjanoo,” “Call on Me,” and “Proper Education.” He also records under two aliases—Pryda, his progressive house project, and CIREZ D, his harder techno outlet. His live productions are known for elaborate custom-built visual and lighting rigs; he’s played residencies at Ibiza, sold out multi-night runs at Madison Square Garden, and headlined major international festivals. A standalone show at the Capitol Mall is a legitimate get for Sacramento.
This Sacramento date is presented by All Day All Night Events, a promoter that has brought large-scale dance music productions to the region before. The event page at ericprydzsac.com lists all entry and logistics details.
What to Expect
The event runs from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. on the Capitol Mall Greens—the open park space that flanks the approach to the California State Capitol on Capitol Mall. Food trucks will be on-site. Outside food and drink are not permitted, and re-entry is not allowed once you leave the venue, so plan accordingly.
It’s an adults-only event. You must be 18 or older to enter; 21 or older to purchase alcohol; and 21 or older for VIP tables. Bring a valid U.S. government-issued ID, driver’s license, or passport—DMV interim papers are not accepted. All bags are subject to search at entry. Backpacks with more than two pockets, duffel bags, and suitcases are not approved, so travel light.
Halloween and Day of the Dead costumes are encouraged for the occasion. The event is scheduled rain or shine.

Getting There
The Capitol Mall location is well-served by public transit and rideshare, and driving is straightforward if you use a nearby garage rather than hunting for street parking.
Light rail: Sacramento Regional Transit stops at 8th & Capitol, 8th & O Street, and 7th & Capitol—all within a short walk of the Capitol Mall Greens.
Parking garages: Capitol Garage at 1129 10th Street and Metro Garage at 701 L Street are the closest options. Street parking in the Capitol area is limited on weekends but not impossible.
Rideshare: Rideshare drop-off is a practical option given the no-re-entry policy. It eliminates the need to return to a parked car later in the evening.
The Bottom Line
An outdoor Halloween-weekend electronic music event headlined by one of the genre’s most technically ambitious artists, set in front of the California State Capitol—this is a rare configuration for Sacramento. The 18+ rule and no-re-entry policy make it an adults-focused evening rather than an all-ages affair, so plan the logistics before you arrive. Costumes are encouraged, food is on-site, and the light rail puts the venue within easy reach from most of the city.
