Who said original art work has to break the bank? The Sacramento Arts Festival lets you shop works by 225 of America's best artists and craftsmen for great art finds at reasonable prices. Nibble on ethic cuisines and tap your feet to the non-stop jazz music from local-area bands.

"Let the good times roll" at Capitol Bowl! Strike the time away on bright neon lanes and hang out at the yummy café or popular lounge. There are plenty of open lanes and great customer service at this recreation facility. Get the family together for hours of bowling fun.

Forget about paint by numbers at Sacramento's ArtBeast! This children's drop in art studio has oodles of craft supplies, buckets of paint and creative space for a little artist's hands to create works of art. There's a playhouse for dress up and an outdoor space for snacks and water play.

Come by and check out Sacramento's Capitol Garage. With beer on tap and plenty of mixed drinks, it's especially popular with local musicians and has open jazz jams during the week. You can also order grub from a menu as varied as its local talent. It's a great destination for the laid-back nightlife you're looking for.
