Hands-on art activities for children, led by professional artists and groups like the Sacramento Public Library, will be featured each day. There is truly something for everyone of any age to enjoy with a broad variety of community groups, craft booths, gourmet food trucks, and a wine and beer garden. Access to the park and the event is always FREE to the public.
