Modesto Comes Alive

Arts & Live Entertainment is Modesto’s Pulse!

The lure of Modesto goes far beyond the fields. The wide variety of live entertainment options earned the #1 Party City in California and a #1 ranking in “America’s Hidden Gems Live Music Scene” — truth be told, we weren’t surprised — we know live entertainment! International muralists are invited annually to add to the larger-than-life art collection downtown, not to mention a newly revamped Modesto Art Walk happening on the third Thursday of every month. Mix that with classic films, theatre productions, local festivals, and Single-A Baseball and there’s not a chance of being bored in Modesto.

This late summer, make your night out unforgettable with an overnight stay in Modesto. On September 6th, the Modesto Symphony Orchestra presents Picnic at the POPS!, an open-air celebration of music, community, and fun under the stars. Book your hotel, grab your tickets, and enjoy a whole weekend of downtown dining, arts, and nightlife before and after the show. With culture, creativity, and comfort all within steps of your room, it’s the perfect reason to turn a night out into a weekend getaway in Modesto.

Downtown Modesto is a lively hub for entertainment, offering something for everyone. Whether you’re into live music, theater, or nightlife, this area has it all. The four theaters host world-class performances, movies (new and classic), concerts, plays, and cultural events, while local bars and restaurants feature live bands and DJs for a fun night out. You’ll also find art, unique dining experiences, and cozy spots to enjoy with friends.
