Here are the Sac Goes picks for things to do in Sacramento this weekend.

Quick picks

Best bigger laugh night: Na’im Lynn

1. Go dark and weird at Club Necromancy

If you want your Saturday night to feel less basic, this is the pick.

Club Necromancy is happening at Press Club on Saturday night, and it is very much not a sit around and pretend you are having fun kind of plan.

This is for the people who want music, dancing, dark outfits, and a night that does not feel like the same bar plan again.

Best for: night out, dancing, goth energy, friends who actually commit to a theme

The move: Start with food first, then head over when you are ready for the night to get louder.

Good to know: This is a better pick for people who want a real vibe, not just background music.

2. Make Sunday feel expensive at Jerro and Nils Hoffman DJ Set

Sunday does not have to be laundry and regret.

Jerro and Nils Hoffman are playing at The Flamingo House, which already feels like the right setting for a daytime drink, music, and pretending Monday is not real yet.

This is the move if you want something social but not full chaos.

Best for: Sunday plans, music, drinks, day party energy

The move: Go with a small group, grab a drink, and keep the rest of the day loose.

Good to know: Sunday events can sneak up on people. Do not wait until everyone is already in couch mode.

3. Catch Nick Guerra at Laughs Unlimited

Comedy is one of the easiest weekend plans because it gives the night a reason.

Nick Guerra is at Laughs Unlimited this weekend, which makes this a solid pick for date night, a friend night, or one of those plans where nobody wants to overthink it.

Dinner before. Comedy after. Done.

Best for: date night, friends, people who hate vague plans

The move: Eat in Old Sac before the show so the night feels like a full plan.

Good to know: Comedy is a good pick when you want to go out without walking around asking what everyone wants to do next.

4. See Na’im Lynn at Punch Line Sacramento

If you want a bigger comedy club feel, Na’im Lynn at Punch Line Sacramento is another strong weekend option.

Punch Line is easy because the plan is already built in. Show up, sit down, laugh, get drinks, and decide after if you are going home or keeping the night alive.

Best for: comedy night, casual dates, group plans

The move: Make it a dinner and comedy night. Do not make the comedy show carry the whole evening by itself.

Good to know: Buy ahead if your group is more than two people. Group chat confidence is not a reservation.

5. Walk through Paint the Grove Mural Festival

If you want something daytime and visual, Paint the Grove Mural Festival in Elk Grove is a good Saturday move.

This is for the people who like art, photos, walking around, and doing something that feels a little different from the normal brunch loop.

Best for: daytime plans, photos, art lovers, casual hangs

The move: Go earlier, walk around, get food after.

Good to know: This is an easy one to turn into content without making everyone feel like they are trapped in a photo shoot.

6. Browse the Kiwanis Art Fiesta

The Kiwanis Art Fiesta is happening at the Scottish Rite Center this weekend, and it is a good option if you want something chill, creative, and not centered around drinking.

This is not the wildest plan on the list. That is the point.

Best for: easy daytime plans, art browsing, older family members, low pressure weekends

The move: Go browse, find something weird or pretty, then get lunch after.

Good to know: This is a better pick if you want calm weekend energy.

7. Take the kids to Just for Kids: Let’s Meet the Sheep

If you need a family plan, Just for Kids: Let’s Meet the Sheep at Soil Born Farms is one of the easier wins.

Kids get animals. Parents get a plan that is not another indoor play place. Everybody gets out of the house.

Best for: families, younger kids, morning plans

The move: Do this early, then grab food after before everyone melts down.

Good to know: Farm plans are better when you do not overpack the day. Let this be the main thing.

8. Watch Angels in the Outfield at Guild Theater

Family Movie Matinee: Angels in the Outfield at Guild Theater is an easy Sunday family move.

It is simple, nostalgic, and does not require building an entire day around it.

Best for: families, movie lovers, Sunday plans

The move: Movie first, then food nearby if everyone is still in a good mood.

Good to know: This is the kind of plan that saves Sunday from turning into chores and screen time.

9. Try the Crocheting for Beginners Series

Not every weekend plan needs to be loud.

The Crocheting for Beginners Series at Arcade Library is a good pick if you want something calm, useful, and a little different.

This is for the people who want to get out but do not want a whole production.

Best for: solo plans, calm weekends, creative people, people who want a new hobby

The move: Go learn something, then reward yourself with coffee after.

Good to know: This is the opposite of chaotic weekend energy, and that might be exactly what you need.

10. Hear American Salute at Harris Center for the Arts

If you want something more classic, American Salute from the Folsom Lake Symphony is happening at Harris Center for the Arts.

This is a good pick when you want a more polished night out without doing the bar thing.

Best for: classical music, older family, date night, calmer evening plans

The move: Dinner in Folsom first, show after.

Good to know: This is outside central Sacramento, but worth considering if you want a cleaner, quieter evening.

Easy weekend plans if none of these hit

If you want something simple, go to Old Sacramento Waterfront, walk by the river, and grab food.

If you want a museum day, go to the Crocker Art Museum.

If you want to be outside, pick a section of the American River Parkway.

If you want food and people watching, start in Midtown.

If you want to check the full event calendar, look at Sacramento365 or the Visit Sacramento weekend events page.

Final word

This weekend has a little bit of everything.

If you want loud, go to Club Necromancy or Jerro and Nils Hoffman.

If you want funny, go see Nick Guerra or Na’im Lynn.

If you want family friendly, pick Just for Kids: Let’s Meet the Sheep or Angels in the Outfield.

If you want something calm, go art, crochet, coffee, or a walk.

And if your group chat still cannot decide, send them this and make somebody else choose.
