Somewhere along the way Media Week became “how committed are you to the bit?”

The answer is very.

Melon Carnival got a pretty big piece of Alegria this year.

Almost 100 of us, performances on both sides of Main Street and somehow everybody ended up where they were supposed to be.

Very long Sunday. Very good one.

Consider this our official goodbye to summer. 🍉

For everyone who says we should get out more. This counts.

FARA’s new Thursday Night Socials bring local vendors and performers together in downtown Turlock, and you can just come hang out. Free admission. Bring whoever you’ve been meaning to make plans with.

Thank you for welcoming Ballet Folklorico de Alegria and Joy in Motion to Heritage Night, FARA!
