Since 1954 the Fresno Philharmonic Orchestra has presented high-quality, live orchestral entertainment to residents throughout Fresno County. Enjoy classical orchestra music or a Symphonic Night at the Movies. You may even catch an opera or attend one of the annual events, such as the wine auction and exotic car show.
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.
A converted movie house from 1939, the Tower Theatre for the Performing Arts is currently an entertainment venue that's home to some of Fresno's best performing arts. The modern deco masterpiece acts as the anchor of the Tower District. The Tower Theatre hosts a wide variety of music, stand-up and theatrical performances throughout the year.
