If you visit in October, be sure to look up the Big Fresno Fair. As its name suggests, this is Fresno County's big annual festival, and is actually the fifth largest fair in the state. Come by for live musical performances by local, regional, national and even international artists. The carnival and special exhibits promise all-day fun for people of all ages.
Spend a casual night kicking back with friends at the Hook & Ladder Lounge. Equipped with a few arcade games and several televisions, Hook & Ladder has been praised as a great little dive bar. This cozy neighborhood bar offers inexpensive drinks served by personable bartenders in a place where you can spend an evening simply relaxing. If the quieter nightlife is for you, make this the next bar you visit.
