Feel the purple passion at a Sacramento Kings professional basketball game! Loyal fans have filled the stands at Power Balance Pavilion, formerly known as the Arco Arena, since 1985 to cheer the only team in the big-four sports league in the River City. Slamson the Lion is the Kings mascot, and the Kings Dance Team brings excitement to every game! Get your tickets to see the Kings battle on the court with some of the NBA's finest.

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.

Hang out at The Park Ultra Lounge for a nightlife experience of sophisticated partying. Sit on a plush sofa near an outdoor fireplace, in a private booth or VIP room. Enjoy drinking fine wines or champagnes while dining on trendy gourmet delights. Step out onto the floor to dance to disco, salsa, jazz and more.

Music lovers in love: put a romantic spin on your next date and spend a Saturday night being serenaded at East Sacramento's Pops in the Park. Bring your favorite blanket and low-back chairs for comfy sitting. Enjoy holding hands and sitting close together while hearing live music. A neighborhood tradition since 1995, the park has hosted concerts from classic rock-n-roll to electrify/violinist concerts.
