The Downtown Sampler returned last year and was a big hit. A couple of thousand people came to downtown and walked stroll and rode their bikes to over 25 restaurant, cafes and bars to sample what they had to offer. 10 bands several of them are Modesto Area Award Winners, were placed strategically throughout the Sampler footprint with two wandering minstrels playing in random locations over the evening. As you can imagine it was such a hit, it had to come back again. Make plans to come to Downtown Modesto on October 2nd, 5:30-9 pm and partake in a Modesto Tradition the 18th Annual Sampler, enjoy some delicious savoury and sweet treats nearly 30 spots, live music with thousands of your friends. Expect to find drink specials at most the locations just in case you discover something you must have more of. You get all this for only $20 that is quite a bargain. You can get tickets from Modesto Downtown Improvement Office, Select Cruisers and online at http://www.ticketfly.com/event/1763671-downtown-modesto-sampler-modesto for more information check out www.modestosampler.com
