Few gifts are more original that local arts, trinkets and crafts.

Artist creations include jewelry, ceramics, paintings, gourmet food, a variety of holiday items and more.
This would be a good place to stock-up on Christmas gifts.
There are many holiday craft fairs every year, but what makes this one unique, besides being presented by Sacramento’s most prominent art museum, is the fact that children and adults can have their photos taken with a Victorian Santa Claus.
Attendees will also enjoy free parking and a café by Ambrosia Catering.
