With the generous support of the City of Modesto, the Gallo Center for the Arts is pleased to present our first annual Family Fun Festival—a very special community event that will take over the Gallo Center Plaza and the Modesto Rotary Music Garden with a host of FREE activities. Join us for music, dancing, chalk art, lawn games, exotic reptiles, face painting, balloon animals and prize giveaways! No ticket purchase needed—just come and have fun!

Food trucks will be here, too, if you'd like to purchase hot dogs, frozen yogurt, ice cream or other tasty treats!

There also will be two free preview performances, at 2 pm and 4 pm, of Charlie the No Good, Really-Rotten, Cheat-A-Saurus Rex, this season’s GCA On Tour production presented by our Arts Education Department. This wonderful introduction to theatre teaches the importance of honesty and friendship. Ideal for children in grades K – 5.
