Attention! Calling all college students
who wish to still have fun while being enrolled in school! There is still hope for everyone who is being affected by the economic downturn to experience entertainment that is enjoyable, educational but most of all affordable.
Many people are finding their fun in Fresno’s Downtown Art shows, Tower District, and the River Park scene but the newest hit thing to do is go to the $3 movies
in Clovis. No matter what it is Fresno City students can still make time to ease the stress of school and be part of and enjoy Fresno entertainment.
It doesn’t matter who you are, your economic status, gender or ethnicity there is something just for you. Downtown has various different venues that are for those who love art, history, vintage and crafts. The Fresno Metropolitan Museum reopened their doors after a renovation to the public.
Families are coming together to experience the historical artifacts and crafts for the whole family. Many parents like the fact that they get to spend time with each other and their children while learning but most of all having fun and creating memories.
But, it’s not just the families that are experiencing the wonders and appreciation of history, culture and art in downtown Fresno. There are people who are taking a look at the heritage and crafts that are on display at Fresno’s Arte Americas, a Mexican Art gallery on Calaveras and Van Ness just catty corner from the Met.
They have months where they display
art from local schools, it is a wonderful way for people to come into contact with works from local artist and it gives them a chance to get support from their very own community.
Not many people realize that by just choosing to visit a local Museum that they too are being part of history in the making. Like the first Thursday of every month Art Hop is in the works, all throughout downtown
Fresno and Tower District you will see signs directing you to tons of Art galleries and the admission is Free!
There is so much to learn all throughout
downtown Fresno and it’s in reaching distance from school. Art and culture may not be your forte and first choice of how you spend your weekend. You may be the one who likes to party and experience a good time having drinks with friends, dancing and listening to local bands.
The Tower District is just at the breach of downtown. Just within a few blocks you see clubs, vintage shops, diners, clothing stores and even some uncommon shops. It’s very much more alive at night and on the weekends.
During those times there is a place in Tower District that is called Starline. An all age club spot that have different themes throughout the week that give everyone a chance to experience new things.
The range of themes fluctuate from salsa night, comedy night, open mic and gay night. You can also dance and enjoy some live music from local bands and get to know new people with an estimated price of $4-$8.
It is a unique thing to do on the weekends
with friends. Just to give a chance to new things and open yourself up for interest in other things causes you to expand yourself
as an individual.
If you’re the type of person who likes theatre, film and watching live performances then the most distinctive symbol of the Tower District is the Tower Theatre a true historic theatre in California will be just the place for you. A real treat is in store for this 5664season’s line up of performances.
Rap artists, comedy and parody shows, an Elvis impersonator, Showings of films from the Fresno film works organization
and the Moscow’s ballet performing The Nutcracker are just a few of the many upcoming events happening at the Tower Theatre.
But the new thing on the block is the $3 dollar movies in our neighbor city Clovis. A smaller theatre with fewer attractions than Edwards and Signature but it is a smaller theatre that plays the same movies as the main theatres but for $3!
They can’t keep their good deals a secret; the lines are growing more and more because people are hearing about a way they can view the newest movies for much cheaper.
So grab $3 dollars maybe even a little extra for popcorn and kick back and enjoy the show. It doesn’t matter where you go, you can always find something new to do for a good price if you are just willing to take a little time to venture out and find one.
When you do, the discovery of new interests and wisdom will help develop you into a person that is full of knowledge and appreciation of Fresno’s fun while saving money and attending College.
