Here’s what you should do this weekend

Looking for something to do this weekend? Here are some fun suggestions for events happening in Fresno and beyond.

Friday

The big thing happening this weekend is of course the Rogue Festival. You’ll want to check out the full calendar of events for the annual fringe festival—performances will take place around the Tower District tonight through Sunday. Tonight alone there are 27 shows to choose from!

Also tonight is a Hmong Social Dance Class hosted by the Holistic Cultural and Education Wellness Center in Fresno. That begins at 6 p.m. 

Today through Sunday, you can also visit the Home and Garden Show Sale at The Big Fresno Fairgrounds. That takes place today from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Bitwise Industries is hosting its monthly Geek Night starting at 5 p.m. The theme of this kid-friendly event is “Science Fair,” and there will be lots of geeky and fun exhibits on display. 

At 6:30 p.m., Raw Fresno is hosting a Plant-Based Class, and after that you can head over to the Crest Theatre for a screening of 1974’s “Death Wish,” starring Charles Bronson, at the historic Crest Theatre.

Saturday

Saturday is another huge day for the Rogue Festival, with over 44 shows to see. 

Before you head to the Tower District, though, make a point to head downtown for the 2018 Fresno Chinese New Year Parade and Festival, which starts at 10 a.m. in Fresno’s Chinatown. This is a rain-or-shine event.

Fans of the Blossom Trail will want to head to Sanger for the 30th Annual Blossom Trail Festival, from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.

You could also visit the Fresno High Flea, which takes place at Fresno High from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., or visit the 3rd Annual I Heart Pyrex Swap, which is happening at CMAC from 1:30 to 5 p.m.

At 6 p.m. is the “A Blast From the Past” Fashion Show. Fresno High students will be modeling vintage clothing from Bebe O’s in Fresno.

Sunday

On Sunday is—you guessed it—more Rogue. Thirty-six shows to choose from, in fact.

From 12:30 to 5:30 p.m., Tioga-Sequoia will be offering free tours of its brewery. 

At 2 p.m., Gazebo Gardens Nursery is hosting a class for those who want to create teeny-tiny terrariums. Beer and coffee will be available.
