Sacramento weekend guide: A Kings game, local music festival, Love Market or brunch

For those who had a groggy start to the week after daylight saving time began on Sunday, this weekend’s for sleeping and resting. But since it’s the first weekend where we all get an extra hour of daylight and Sunday is the first day of spring, why not enjoy the outdoors for a bit?

Forecasts show Sacramento will have a mostly sunny, warm Friday and a chilly Saturday with highs at 60 degrees and a 62% chance of rain. The sun will reappear Sunday with highs around 63 degrees.
