5000 Watts

5000 Watts is Sacramento’s premier nighttime art and tech festival! Be electrified by this curated experience at the intersection of art and tech for the community in the heart of Sacramento!

For two nights, artists, geeks, techies, and makers will be transforming Drake’s: The Barn into a hub for creative making and innovation, lighting up the venue with interactive installations.

All proceeds will go towards Square Root Academy’s STEM education programming, which works to engineer equity and strengths-based educational environments for at-risk youth.

This fusion of art and tech will showcase the vibrant culture that exists throughout Sacramento, designed for the people by the people.

5000 Watts brings together local artists, food and drink, tech talent, and artists to give STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) to the whole community! Through this immersion, Square Root Academy hopes to showcase the “A” in STEAM, highlighting the power of innovation and collaboration.
