Each year the Fresno City & County Historical Society celebrates its birthday with a Gala event hosted in a unique and historic site in Fresno County.  Each party is themed to a different decade allowing guests to explore the past in a fun and immersive experience. 

Most recently, March 28th, the Fresno City & County Historical Society took guests on a trip to the 1960's for its annual Gala Event. 

VIP Dinner guests were treated to an experience like no other beginning with dinner and live entertainment from The Supremes with the Bobby Griffin Band at Frank's Place on Fulton Street in Downtown Fresno. They were greeted with a Mad Men Martini at 5:30pm before sitting down to a fab meal and the sounds of Motown. At 7:30pm they moved into GREAT SEATS in the Warnors Theatre for a concert with MANIA! The Beatles Experience.
