AllAgesView – Happy July

Hey Modesto! Happy July! I am officially on summer break.
I am excited to be done with school, and to spend an amazing summer here in Modesto before I am off to college. Modesto offers many fun activities to do in the summertime. An activity I am most excited for is Concert in the park. These concerts are the highlights of my entire summer. Our beloved MoBand plays for our city every Thursday night at 8pm. These amazing concerts will be happening until July 11th. Make sure to bring a blanket and your favorite snacks. You do not want to miss out!

With the warmer weather, I like to get outside more. On summer mornings in July, there is nothing better than heading to the farmer’s market. It is open every Thursday, and Saturday 8 am – 1 pm. It is located on 16th Street alongside the Stanislaus County Library. The produce there is very fresh and delicious. The market always has the best fruit. There are many different places to eat like Southeast Asia Grill, Penny University Coffee, and Oaxacan Tamales. Whenever I am there, I like to pick out a fresh bouquet of flowers too! I am thrilled to spend another beautiful and exciting summer here in Modesto, and I hope you are too!

Don’t forget, the annual Stanislaus County Fair opens on July 5th! It opens at 4pm weekdays, and 12pm weekends. There will be a variety of different artists performing and there are tons of fun attractions! This is one of my favorite July activities and I simply cannot wait. I hope to see you there!
