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 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 there’s not a chance of being bored in Modesto.
