The highlight of the summer in Sacramento is the family-friendly California State Fair, a colorful occasion (running for around 18 days before Labor Day) with all kinds of concerts, exhibits, and other events, which attracts thousands of people from all over the county.

Sutter’s Fort

Now almost overtaken by suburbs, Sutter’s Fort E [map] (2701 L Street; tel: 916-445-4422; www.suttersfort.org; daily 10am–5pm) was once one of the most important in the West. It was an employee of John Sutter’s who discovered gold in 1848, but 11 years earlier Sutter had already established the fort as a rest stop and refueling station for immigrants crossing the frontier from the east. The present site, which includes a prison and a bakery, has been reconstructed to give one of the most authentic pictures of pioneer life in the state.
