Things To Do in Fresno

Join us to celebrate the return of the migratory Bald Eagles! Each winter, eagles overwinter along the shores of Millerton Reservoir. This is a free, easy 2-to-3 mile hike to view these magnificent birds. Guides Judy J. and Judy H. are avid birders who love to share their passion and knowledge with the public. PLEASE NOTE: While bald eagle sightings are highly likely, they are not guaranteed.

We will be meeting at the River Center (11605 Old Friant Rd, Fresno, CA) at 8:30 am, and will carpool to Millerton from there. Please dress appropriately for a day outdoors (long pants, closed toed shoes, etc.) and bring sunscreen, binoculars, and water. Leader(s) will have some loaner binoculars available. This is a rain or shine event. Children 12+ welcome, no dogs please.

Shen Yun’s unique artistic vision expands theatrical experience into a multi-dimensional, deeply moving journey through one of humanity’s greatest treasures–the five millennia of traditional Chinese culture.

We invite you to a world where philosophers and poets alike sought harmony with the Dao, or “Way, ” of the universe.

Immerse yourself in the breathtaking art of Classical Chinese dance, with all hand-made costumes, a digital backdrop, and a unique live orchestra!

“This is the finest event I’ve ever been to in my life. … I was in tears, because of the human spirit, the dignity, the power, the love, coming out of those people was astounding … This is the profound, quintessential end of entertainment. There is nothing beyond this. Nothing.” — Jim Crill, former television producer

“The 8th wonder of the world. People have no idea what they’re missing until they come here and see the show.” — Joe Heard, former White House photographer, saw Shen Yun 6 times

“Very exciting to watch and really inspirational!” — Stewart F. Lane, six-time Tony Award-winning producer

“The orchestra is phenomenal. They are very, very on top.” — Roger Tallman, seven-time Emmy Award-winning composer/producer

“Lavish production, dazzling costumes, brilliant choreography, extravagantly beautiful.” — Broadway World

“The ancient Chinese wisdom will benefit the whole world.” —Ted Kavanau, founding senior producer of CNN headline news

“I encourage everyone to see and all of us to learn from.” —Donna Karan, creator of DKNY (New York)
