The window for a Mavericks surf contest closed on March 31 and for the second straight year, conditions never reached the levels needed by the World Surf League to hold an official contest (the last official Mavericks competition was February 2016). But there were a few opportunities during the November through March window for the public to see surfers riding those classic Mavericks waves. That was the case here on March 23, as viewed from a Half Moon Bay Sportfishing charter boat. – Photographer, Steve Martarano

Don’t miss the opportunity to celebrate creativity and community at the Sacramento Arts Festival! The
22nd annual event moves to a new venue at the Cal Expo, Building A – B, located at 1600 Exposition Blvd., Sacramento, CA, to showcase the best-ever in quality, variety and one-of-a-kind arts and crafts. The Sacramento Arts Festival has become the premier art and craft show in the Central Valley and has developed into one of the top art festivals in the country.
The festival features over 225 of America’s best contemporary craftspeople and fine artists showcasing over 15,000 original works for sale. Unlike other area fairs, the Sacramento Arts Festival is strictly juried with exhibitors selected for their originality and art quality. Attendees have the unique opportunity to observe and interact with artists who will share their creative passion and knowledge. Some artists will also demonstrate their extraordinary talents on site. Guests can shop from ceramics, clothing, decorative fiberworks, furniture, glass, gourd art, jewelry, leather, metalworks, paper, stone, woodworks, drawings, oil and acrylic paintings, watercolors, sculpture, photography and two and three dimensional mixed media.
In addition to the exceptional visual art, the festival features continuous live Main Stage entertainment including the Kurt Ribak Jazz Quartet, the GG Amos Blues Band, and Summertrio, world music band. Attendees are also treated to Restaurant Row where they can indulge in cuisine from local restaurants representing different cultures from around the world including Indian and American cuisine.

Voted the #1 Best Cultural Festival by USA TODAY!
The Sacramento Water Lantern Festival is a floating lantern event that is all about connections. Magical nights in cities across the U.S. include food, games, activities, vendors, music and the beauty of thousands of lanterns adorned with letters of love, hope and dreams reflected upon the water.
As the sun begins to set on the evening sky, Water Lantern Festival begins to shine with the launch of the lanterns onto the water as we Light The Water together. Watch your unique lantern drift out into the water as it joins other lanterns carrying hope, love, happiness, healing, peace, and connection. It’s a night that you’ll never forget.
