City of Elk Grove - City Hall

Ever wonder where your tax dollars go? We're talking public safety, roads, and the behind-the-scenes work that keeps Elk Grove running strong.

The proposed FY 26–27 budget heads to City Council on June 10, and your input matters. Budget decisions reflect the City's values and priorities, so if you’d like to share your thoughts or provide feedback on funding plans for the coming year, participate in public comment during the Council meeting at 6 p.m. in the City Hall Council Chambers, 8400 Laguna Palms Way.

POV: You're a shelter dog spending your day surrounded by giant flowers and public art.

Bonita got a first look at one of this year's Paint the Grove murals and gave it her seal of approval (and several sniffs).

Want to see it too? Join us Saturday at 9 a.m. at Old Town Plaza for the Paint the Grove Walking Tour, then head over to the Elk Grove Animal Shelter's Adopt a Pet Day event from 12 to 5:30 p.m. to say hello to Bonita and her furry friends.

And if Bonita inspires you, consider taking a shelter dog on an adventure through our Doggy Day Out program. Because every great art tour deserves a best friend. ❤️🐶🎨

Paint the Grove is officially underway and the transformation is already something special.

We have loved seeing the art come to life and watching residents interact with each piece in their own way. People are stopping, reflecting, taking photos, and sharing their reactions. The creativity on display from these artists is truly beyond words and we are grateful to be able to experience it here in our community.

We cannot wait for what is still to come and we hope you will join us at the Old Town Plaza this Saturday at 9:00 AM for the guided walking tour.

Today kicks off Elk Grove’s first ever mural festival in the heart of Historic Elk Grove. 🎨

From the beginning, we’ve said this week long festival is about community, where local businesses get new attention, creativity shows up in a way you can’t ignore, and public art brings people together.

Pictured here is Quoc, owner of the Custom Fireside building, alongside Cameron Moberg and Ryan “Pawn” Rhodes. Cameron and Pawn are bringing new life to the side of the building during this week’s mural festival, and this is only the beginning.

Join us Saturday, June 6 at 9 a.m. at Old Town Plaza for a mural walking tour and get an up close look at the artists and murals bringing color to Historic Elk Grove.
