Catching Your Smile

It's Calienté time at the Sacramento Festival de la Familia at Cal Expo. Celebrate nearly two dozen Latino cultures offering a spicy mix of children's activities, music, and shopping. Make a piñata, dance to Latin jazz, feast on warm Latin flavors and shop at the open-air market.

Ride around Old Sacramento like royalty on a horse-drawn carriage ride from the Top Hand Ranch. Regal coachmen escort sweethearts around the city to see historic Old Sacramento, gaze upon the Sacramento River and discover the steps of the front door to the State Capitol. Is there a more romantic way to see the city?

Family time is a zoo at the Sacramento Zoo, when you get up close to the wildly inspiring Giraffe Habitat, Tiger Cubs and White-faced Owls. The 14-acre landmark is home to 400 animals and 140 native, rare and endangered species. Catch special events like the Ice Cream Safari and Zoo Parent Picnic. It's a great attraction for family fun.

Harvest fresh farm produce and other locally grown finds at the Davis Farmers Market. This Sacramento treasure is filled with organic goodies, baked goods and good old fashioned outdoor market fun. Pick from fresh corn, apricots, peaches, tomatoes and more for a healthier, greener lifestyle.
