    Wow, this was our first time here and I was having anxiety the entire time…read more Parking was a disaster. They should not have kids in charge of pointing cars which way to park and they need walkie talkies to communicate with each other. Way too many people in such tight spaces in a lot of areas. The lines were all over the place. So we didn't know which lines were to which ride. We would ask people which lines they were in and they said they don't know or they think it's this ride... I bought the wristbands online and in advance for $40. When we get to the fair, if you buy there it's buy one get one FREE! We thought buying in advance and online would be better but apparently not... so we wasted $40. The good thing was the kids got to enjoy the less busy rides the first hour or so before the crowds came. Food was not great. I was expecting good fair food but when people are cooking in larger batches I guess they don't know how to season or cook it correctly. We will stick with the Big Fresno Fair yearly.

    I love this fair, they always have great concerts. Loads of music on the stages around the fair,…read more and tons of seating to listen and enjoy. There are so many animals to visit and see, and a lot of barns and auction areas for their 4H and FFA kids. I especially love all of their entertainment, sterling and shows both. We get to see so many different kinds, magic, hula hoops and Juggling. They have fun local contests too, there was a beard contest today. This is a great family fun event. Highly recommend

    I like to go to festivals that specialize in something specific-like Greek culture and food…read more What I don't like is when other vendors come in and sell useless trash or food that doesn't go with the theme. I went to the strawberry festival last year, and there was everything for sale - except for strawberries. For this festival, they did a tremendous job with the theme, seating arrangements and food options. There were plenty of Greek food options to choose from , and the lines went pretty quickly. However, the food fell flat in my opinion. The rice pilaf was bland, the pita bread was not good , and the meats were just OK. I felt the prices weren't out of line, but there was nothing I tried that was better than any other restaurants in the area. The Church was beautiful, and the setup was perfect. I just wish the food tasted better.

    It's been a few years since we've come to the Greek Festival. This year my aunt and uncle bought us…read moretickets, so we met them there for lunch and shopping! We found parking on the street and stood in line momentarily. The festival opened at 11:00am. We stood in line for the Grill, were handed a tray and decided on the foods we wanted. I enjoyed a yummy salad and some naan. The portions were perfect and the prices just right. My husband enjoyed the french fries. Oh boy, there were a pile of them! I enjoyed my favorite orange Espa drink and everyone else got water. The festival is cashless like most businesses these days. It was no problem finding a spot for lunch, there were lots of tables set up and we enjoyed the live music playing. We shopped after lunch and stopped by a few of the booths set up as well: Blood Bank, Poverello House, and Health Concepts.

It certainly is beginning to look a lot like christmas and its not even Thanksgiving yet, especially at the old town clovis with its exclusive once a year event known as "One Enchanted Evening" thats completely FREE of charge , this year it was on Nov 19th from 5pm to 8pm. This event feels like walking through the main street of Disneyland without leaking $150 of course Its almost like a best kept secret, since many people in the city of Fresno and Clovis seems unaware that it is an annual tradition that has been running for 12 years, even I was almost unaware of it, but thankfully my friend Dave reminded me. The old town Clovis transforms into a christmas galore with glitzy light luminously lighting its historic streets, christmas song's like mariah carey's 'all I want for christmas playing in the background, smell of hot chocolates in the air, lit horse drawn carriages making its headway down the street, and colorful and shiny christmas decor prominent everywhere, it certainly feels christmasy, warm and fuzzy. There is of course opportunity to visit the adorable antique stores and get the christmas shopping started. And not to forget is the classic collection of old cars from the early 1800 century to the late 1920's all parked on the street and ready for an Instagram moment. One Enchanted Evening is held exclusively by the participating businesses in Old Town Clovis who open their doors for hospitality and good cheer by offering complimentary drinks and mini snacks while we shopped through their amazing antiquities, engulf in their beautifully decorated display window, and walk through the beautifully lit streets of old town clovis lined with lights and christmas decorations . Its also the opportune time to enjoy a complimentary horse-drawn carriage ride through the beautifully decorated streets of Old Town Clovis and a time for me to drag my younger siblings here too, since I heard Santa would be here collecting data on who's naughty and nice. There was even carolers all dressed up in victorian styles clothing singing some christmas tunes. Parking was not much an issue for me, because there were plenty of Free street parking available. I would however advise future patrons to come as early as 5.30 am to enjoy the caroling, which I missed. The time spent here can be varied, but it took me about 30-45 minutes to slowly stroll, visit shops and sip some free hot chocolate and not to forget to bring the best cameras at home, because the sights and window set up is so beautiful and must be captured in photos before its all gone. Its an experience everyone should experience at least once a year !

    Opening day/night of The Big Fresno Fair (note you must have a clear bag now instead of a purse or…read morebackpack, but they'll give you a tiny complimentary one if you don't have one). I'm missing the horse racing though (as they don't have horse racing this year). I really enjoyed that part of the fair so hopefully they'll bring it back next year. IDK? I'm here tonight to see Joan Jett in concert. So far spent, $20 parking,$15 entrance fee, $11 for a plastic cup of J. Lohr Cab and $15 for a Corn Dog. & $9 for Elote corn... Oh, and I ran into Jack Sparrow ;D

Of course anything for the kids because for them price isn't a concern. They enjoyed every moment of it just being out and about with the scene. I helped myself to some local whipped honey and bee pollen. The corn dog and curly fries brick was about $25 and the grilled corn was $7. The sea lion show attracted many people and a lady going around with bubbles had the kids jumping with joy, my toddler enjoyed both. If you look past the food, there's still much to enjoy. I just got food items that my kids would enjoy. I'll be going to the RnB Concert this week so we will see how that goes, I kind of scoped if there was any new vendors. I think I'll just be going for the usual smoked turkey leg and sticky cinnamon roll:)

    Fresno and some very ambitious people have decided to grace us with the option of enjoying the…read morefatty fair food a little bit earlier in the year. I was just as confused as you when I heard the Fresno fair was happening in May! But let's just jump right into this. First of all, I am not a huge fan of the Fresno fair that happens in the Fall. It's extremely crowded, so hot and overpriced. The Spring fair is a lot smaller than the BIG Fresno fair but it is held in the same spot. I feel that if given more exposure , this event will grow larger. This is the FIRST year. They have the usual foods like deep fried Oreos, twinkies, giant corn dogs, Bubba's BBQ and etc. don't expect a huge amount of stands for food though! For this year at least because there were maybe just 9 food stands ? But that's okay, because there were no lines ! Lol And you got your food quickly. There are a lot of other vendors selling trinkets, snacks and other seen on tv items. Camel rides for $10. A free bird show, the bird sang happy birthday! Lol There are an abundance of games and some rides. Which I did not pay too much attention to, I only came for the food and just to check it out. Slightly disappointed that there were no lobster fries or gelato. Maybe next year ! Parking : $5 Fresno fair parking Entrance : $10

    I went to the spring fair last year. I took my niece and her friend. It wasn't too crowded or too…read morehot. Not as expensive. I did miss the exhibits. There were plenty of rides. I plan to go again this year.
