Things to do in Sacramento

Sacramento runs on state government. The Capitol, dozens of state agencies and the lobbyists, trade associations and law firms that work with them keep a steady stream of officials and executives moving in and out, especially while the Legislature is in session. Health care is another major employer, with Sutter Health headquartered in the region and UC Davis Health downtown, and the surrounding Sacramento Valley is one of the most productive farming regions in the country, which is why the city calls itself America’s Farm-to-Fork Capital.
