ORANGEVALE, CA (MPG) - The historic Boardwalk, which closed last January, launched its reopening with a ribbon cutting ceremony with new owners Derek Clark and Sara Green along members of the Orangevale Chamber of Commerce, community members and fans of the music venue.

The Boardwalk, which opened in 1987 under the stewardship of the late Mark Earl, was a huge force in the Sacramento music scene. Over 1900 concerts featuring national and local acts took place at The Boardwalk between 1987 and 2021.

“We are very excited and feel privileged to be able to continue the music legacy of The Boardwalk,” said Green.

The venue will be open seven days a week. During the day, the venue will operate as Palm Tree at The Boardwalk, serving Polynesian/American food and drinks. On Thursday nights, the Boardwalk will be home to “You Front The Band”—where customers get up on the legendary stage and sing their favorite songs accompanied by a live band. Friday and Saturday nights will be dedicated to live music acts. Up-and-coming bands as well as established acts across diverse genres are being recruited to play at The Boardwalk.

The opening weekend had sold out performances with Red Jumpsuit Apparatus with special guests Self Continuum and Yunger.  Saturday night also had sold out performances of music featuring Niviane, Diversity of One and Skyline Red.
