From daytime adventures to nighttime outings, here’s what Northern California has planned for your last weekend in November.
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Hey! If a quiet disco, toy and anime convention, or even a shiny art gallery sounds like fun, it shows there’s something for everyone this weekend in Northern California.
The weather this weekend is warming up a bit with temperatures in the mid-60s with a light westerly-northwesterly breeze and a 25% chance of rain.
Gather some friends, maybe family or even go solo, but get outside, grab an umbrella and enjoy some of these weekend events!
A free holiday lighting extravaganza with nightly performances, a 20-minute production and Christmas lights galore! There will also be a special appearance by Jack Frost and the lighting of the 60ft Christmas tree by Saint Nick himself.
