Whoever told you that Sacramento was a boring town told you wrong. Oh, no one told you that? Well...you didn't hear it from me, either. Check out these regular events going on - their regularity should be comforting to you.
If you're more of a spontaneous sort of person, check out the Events Board for one-time events. Or if you're looking for something that may last longer than these events, see the Ongoing Events. Oh, you're a history buff? See some of Sacramento's Historical Events.
