Sacramento weekend events: Things to do while Northern California rain persists

Looks like the next few days in Sacramento are going to be wet, and that includes the weekend too.

If you’re not going planning on spending the weekend indoors there are some fun events happening over the weekend like: The Alexander McQueen exhibit at the Crocker Museum or a paint night at Orchard Thai.

If the rain doesn’t bother you, check out the first Farmers Market of the year in midtown. They haven’t announced cancellations, yet. You’ll want to keep an eye on it.

For what it’s worth, the Antique Faire has postponed its event at Sleep Train Arena. The Certified Farmers Market says check later for updates and during last week’s storm, midtown’s market shut down.

Weather permitting, here are some events in Sacramento from Jan. 6 to Jan. 8:
