And enjoy the show
by Modestoview
Over the last few years, Modesto is becoming a place for the performing arts, music and other entertainment. XFest in 2001 and the Gallo Center in 2007 started bringing larger performances to our area. Since the end of XFest, there were few large capacity touring concerts until the Fruit Yard built an amphitheater. With over 4,000 capacity, the Fruit Yard is now on the country and rock circuits. Owner Joe Traina makes sure that not only does the Fruit Yard host these large sold out shows, there is a focus on local organizations that are able to use this big professional stage. Best part is, when the show is over, you are mere minutes from home.
Coming this month, Train – July 20, Parker McCollum – July 23 (sold out) and Air Supply – August 19. A BEATLE is coming to Modesto! On September 16, Ringo Start will bring his All Starr Band to the Fruit Yard. I for one am VERY excited to see a Beatle in Modesto and plan on being right there in the front row! Don’t miss out on tickets.
