Directions to Davis Invitational

From Cal Maritime:

I-80 East to Capitol City Freeway/Business 80 to West Sacramento
EXIT Harbor Blvd.

LEFT onto Harbor heading south.

RIGHT at second light, Industrial Blvd.
LEFT through open yellow bar gate, just west of guarded main Port entrance. The gate is posted: “Riverside Aggregate and Laborers Training Center”
FOLLOW winding road.

Parking and Viewing Information

Spectators are highly encouraged to park at one of the following 3 locations: 

(1) Street parking is available on Halyard Blvd and Beacon Blvd outside of the Port of Sacramento.  Follow the above directions, but after turning right onto Industrial Blvd, take the next right onto Halyard Blvd and park.  Carefully walk across Industrial Blvd and follow the winding road to the boathouse.  This is probably about 1 mile from the launching area.

(2 & 3)  Better views of the racing can be seen from the bridge and the levee.  We suggest that spectators view the regatta from the bridge at the 1500m mark (500m to go) or along the levee (spans the entire race course).  Please follow the instructions of the officials at the bridge.  Races may only be viewed from the east side of the bridge (the side with the sidewalk).  Our ability to allow spectators on the bridge in the future is based on our conduct and abidance to these rules.  To get to the bridge, follow the above directions, but instead of turning right onto Industrial Blvd, turn LEFT onto Industrial Blvd.  Follow Industrial over the bridge.  Directly after the bridge, there is parking on the right.  You can also access the dirt road that runs along the levee on the south side of the race course from this location.
