Helpful tips!
When you plan your day or evening, then you need to see all of the things
that can be grouped together. When you go to a show at the Gallo Center, The
State or the Fat Cat Music House, plan on an early dinner reservation at 5:00 or 5:30. Most of the
shows at The State and the Gallo are at 7:30 or 8:00. Many of the headliners at the
Fat Cat start at 10:00 pm so you make make it a triple play, dinner -
show - aftershow, all in walking distance from your parked car or hotel.
There is parking on 9th Street between K and L. There is a big garage
on 11th Street between I and J. You can find another garage on the corner
of 11th and K street. K is one way, so approach the garage entry from
9th Street. The new parking garage is on 12th bewteen H and I street. Most of the downtown restaurants and nightlife are all walking
distance from these garages. Usually, there is plenty of street parking
in the evenings. Have fun in Modesto. If you need a ride home, please call a cab.
