Looking for something to do this weekend? Here are some fun suggestions for events happening in Fresno and beyond.
Friday
It’s the last weekend in April, so everyone in the Clovis area knows what’s up this weekend. I’m not even going to say it.
Theater fans, you’ll want to hit up The Heiress at 2nd Space Theatre at 8 p.m. or Mamma Mia at Roger Rocka’s at 7:30 p.m. Both of these are playing throughout the weekend.
The Wizard of Oz is this week’s classic film showing at the Crest Theatre. Doors at 7 p.m., show at 8 p.m. Cost is $5.

Canadian singer-songwriter Gordon Lightfoot is at the Tower Theatre tonight at 8 p.m. Tickets for the show are available here, eh?
At 7:30 p.m., Bill Clifton’s Chicken & Whiskey Band will be playing Tioga-Sequoia Brewing Co., where you can sometimes get chicken but definitely not whiskey.
If Jazz, Wine & Cigars is more your jam, head to Ginza Asian Bistro from 5 to 9 p.m.
Speaking of wine, Marie Wilson Band will kick off the summer 2018 season at Engelmann Cellars. No kids, no pets, just you, some music, and some wine.
