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.

Row, row, row your boat at California Canoe and Kayak. The pros here are ready to take you on a recreational whitewater kayaking adventure where you'll float through wilderness caverns, rushing waters and explore new rivers. You'll learn how to row a kayak like a pro, get physically fit and make new friends!

Bump into Elizabeth Taylor and Ansel Adams at the California Museum. Learn about the lives of the people and places that make Sacramento unique. Exhibits and attractions like the "Hall of Fame," honoring extraordinary Californians and "Riding Concrete," how skateboarding evolved, keep us nuts about California.

Step into Sacramento's nightlife at ultra-chic Mix Downtown. You'll find the best seat in the house is the swanky rooftop lounge with chairs and ottomans arranged in semicircles around blazing fire pits. Signature martinis and handcrafted cocktails flow and superstar DJs spin the hottest dance club sounds.
