Holiday parties on the lake

Company parties, team dinners, and family get-togethers at The Silos and Costa Fuego, 20 minutes from Sacramento. Tell us your date and we will set it up.

One call, two venues, one property

The park is open fall weekends through October, and holiday party dates are booking now. Velocity Island is home to two event venues on the same private lake in Woodland: The Silos Event Center, a chandelier-lit hall that seats up to 300, and Costa Fuego, the lakefront restaurant with a wood-fired kitchen and a full bar, for up to 60 guests.

You do not need to figure out which one to call. Reach out to us here at Velocity Island with your date, headcount, and the kind of night you have in mind. We will connect you with the right venue and get you set up.

The same kitchen caters both spaces, so whichever room fits your group, the food is Costa Fuego's.

About Costa Fuego

Why a lake beats a ballroom

  • A waterfront setting that feels like a night out, not another conference room
  • One property, one kitchen, one bar team: no outside caterer to coordinate
  • Custom menus: wood-fired pizza, taco bars, seafood, plated dinners, or a live sushi station
  • Full bar packages, run by our own bartenders
  • About 20 minutes from downtown Sacramento, right off I-5, with free parking
  • 12 miles from Sacramento International Airport, with a hotel across the street for out-of-town guests

Holiday party questions

How many guests can you host?

The Silos Event Center seats up to 300 guests indoors, with the string-lit courtyard alongside it. Costa Fuego hosts up to 60 guests for team dinners and restaurant buyouts. Tell us your headcount and we will point you to the right space.

Is the water park open during holiday parties?

No. The water park attractions are closed for the season by November and December. Holiday parties take place in The Silos Event Center and at Costa Fuego, both on the same lakefront property.

Who handles the food and bar?

Costa Fuego's kitchen caters every event on the property, including The Silos, and the bar is run by our own bartenders. Outside alcohol and outside bartenders are not permitted under our alcohol license.

How much does a holiday party at The Silos cost?

The Silos publishes its venue packages: $3,900 Sunday through Thursday and $4,600 on Friday and Saturday, with a 100-guest minimum (see what is included). Food and bar are quoted to your group. Weeknight parties are the best value and the easiest dates to get in December.

When should we book?

As early as you can. Friday and Saturday nights in the first three weeks of December go first. If you are flexible, a Sunday through Thursday date gives you the most choice.

How far is it from Sacramento?

About 20 minutes from downtown Sacramento, just off I-5 at 755 North East Street in Woodland, and 12 miles from Sacramento International Airport. Parking is free and on site.
