WHAT IS BROADWAY,

SACRAMENTO FAMOUS FOR?

If you don’t know Broadway, it is famous for a number of things:

The Tower Theater's neon tower is an iconic symbol of the place and it stands tall and proud. Opened in 1938, it has been a movie house and a theatre over the years. It is a real iconic landmark for California.

The World Famous Tower Records is a record chain which was known the world over. It started in 1960 and spread all over the world with shops in the UK, USA, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan and many other countries. Nowadays, it is an online store.

The Broadway International Festival is the event that we want to make the area famous for. This is the beginning of something great!

Broadway Cruise is the place where classic cars and their owners cruise along with all the funky, cool soul of California and its beautiful people. This is where our festival is taking place.

The Birthplace of Coffee

Did you know that coffee originated in Ethiopia?

The word coffee comes from the Ethiopian word ‘kaffa’.

When coffee is served at home in Ethiopia it is a ritual which lasts one hour and begins with the washing of the green beans!

Most Ethiopians won’t even consider buying pre-roasted coffee beans!

In Ethiopia coffee is served in small cups along with popcorn!
