Without any further ado, look below for biggest gallery of local events on the Fresno web scene — concerts, club parties and community events. Need something to do? Then this is the place to look.
Tim Tebow is coming to Fresno for the inaugural Inspire Gala, according to reports out of KMPH this afternoon.
The popular but embattled quarterback — known for his steamy good looks, unorthodox throwing and strong Christian faith — will be the star of the April 5 event at Fresno Convention Center’s Exhibit Hall. It’s a joint effort between Break the Barriers and Fresno Christian Schools. Tebow is reportedly getting paid $150,000 to appear. According to The Bee, tickets cost $150 and go on sale Feb. 19.
As we wait for Tebowmania to sweep through Fresno, we thought up 10 potential taglines that could swell interest among the masses. Something tell us organizers will pass, but what the heck, we’ll share with you.
*** Drumroll, please ***

1. FIND YOUR LATIN R & B GROOVE AT FULTON 55
Latin R & B group Tierra, 40-year vets of the music biz, are a perfect fit for this oldies-leaning town. Fresno music lovers should gobble up their Saturday night show at Fulton 55. Also: My favorite show poster of the week. [More]

The most colorful 5K out there, Color Me Rad, has announced its return to Fresno — with registration starting today.
At Color Me Rad racers get hit with “color bombs” throughout the course and end up looking like a package of Skittles by the end. It’s a vibrant twist on 5Ks, a twist that’s made Color Me Rad quite popular. Spots for its Fresno debut, in September at Woodward Park, sold out largely in advance and were hard to come by on race day — with some people re-selling them like they were Justin Bieber concert tickets.
The 2013 Fresno installment is just around the corner, April 7. Registration (currently as low as $35) is open now.
To really get a sense for what Color Me Rad is about — and how much fun people seemed to have last time — check out this photo gallery from The Bee.

It’s a new year, and if your resolution is to get out and have more fun, then you might want to consult The Bee’s “Don’t Miss It” guide, which plans out the best of the month in pop culture and local events — from “Dreamgirls” and Steve Earle to Disney on Ice and “Downton Abbey.” Click the link below to look at the full-size calendar.
UPDATE: Bringing this back to the top since today’s the day. Have fun and be safe, y’all.
ORIGINAL POST: Now that Christmas has passed it’s time to start thinking about how you’ll ring in 2013. There’s a New Year’s Eve primer in today’s Bee, but for even more options, we offer this rundown of parties. Whether you’re looking for a nightclub with DJs and champagne or live music, skim through the offerings below. If you’ve got something to contribute, leave a comment or e-mail the flier to mosegueda@fresnobee.com.
All right, Christmas-light chasers, we’ve reached the time of the year where you’re hunting for colorful displays. Like in years past, we’ve put together a guide to houses that do something a little different — they create dancing lights shows set to music.
Inspired by that viral video turned Miller Lite, these tech-savvy homeowners add a different element to light-looking. Something beyond Christmas Tree Lane and Cindy Lane. This is more like a choose-your-own-adventure outing, where the family piles into the car and criss-crosses the city to watch these shows one at a time. There’s no official map or organization behind the displays. We’ve tracked the houses the past few years. But the light shows come and go, depending on the year. So feel free to send us updates! Look below for a Google Map.

If you can’t find a live band in Fresno tonight, you’re looking in the wrong place.
SAVE MART CENTER ROCKS
Save Mart Center hosts a rock trifecta with 3 Doors Down, Daughtry and P.O.D. Be sure to check out my feature story on 3 Doors Down from last Friday’s Bee. I talk to guitarist Chris Henderson about the band’s “anonymous” fame. Tickets are still available. They cost $26.50-$46.50. Hit up Ticketmaster if you need some.
JAZZ HOP HOPS TO A NEW DAY
Fresno’s Jazz Hop — the monthly celebration of live jazz in dozens of venues — cuts itself from the ArtHop umbilical cord with a new second-Thursday-of-the-month calendar spot. Not much else has changed: still plenty of live music to see for free.
Says Jazz Hop coordinator Kate McKnight: “I’m seeking to highlight jazz music (and other genres) and the musicians by dedicating a night to hop just for music. ArtHop is so big now, and people couldn’t get around to see or experience all that they want to.” Tonight’s Jazz Hop is a bit smaller because of the holidays, she says. The schedule is below.
On this foggy Tuesday here are a few ways to wind down tonight:
If you dig two-minute-long, screw-everything punk/garage rock, go see Broncho tonight at Fulton 55. The Oklahoma band plays with two Fresno vets: It’ll Grow Back (a punk band that keeps things short and energetic) and Sparklejet (a power three-piece who keeps things loud and … ummm, loud). It’s a treat to see Sparklejet these days, let alone on a Monday night.
Below you can check out a cool Broncho cut called “I Don’t Really Want to be Social.” Gives you a good idea of what the band is about. Showtime is 8:30 p.m. Tickets: $5-7.

Christmas event season is here. This weekend gives us a good start, with a few annual traditions: Christmas Tree Lane’s opening night and first walk night, the Clovis Christmas parade and Tubachristmas. Coming up, though, we’ve got a few holiday events that veer more toward the non-traditional crowd. If you you like Christmas bar hopping, made up “Seinfeld” holidays or ugly sweaters, then check out these three:
Watch Friday’s edition of The Bee for a full guide to Christmas events.
If you haven’t seen Blimprov, you should. And you probably should do it tonight.
The improv comedy troupe — who you might remember from its sold-out run at this year’s Rogue Festival — is doing one of its biggest local shows to date at Fulton 55.
Why go tonight? Well, two Blimprov members are planning to move to L.A. soon, to give the fame thing a chance. So this might be their last Blimprov show. The departing Blimprovers are the ever-charming Marcos Hammer and the hilarious Magnus Chhan, who — apologies to the rest of Blimprov — has a knack for stealing the show.
If you miss this and everybody is talking tomorrow about how great it was, don’t say we didn’t warn you.
December is jam packed with local entertainment options you won’t want to miss. You can go to see lots of theater, check out Christmas concerts and live bands and even see a dragon, among other things. So check out our “Don’t Miss It” guide to December and start filling up your entertainment calendar. View the full PDF below.

There’s a quality all-ages concert tonight (on a Monday!) at Fresno Brewing Co. on the Fulton Mall featuring L.A. band SISU.
Here’s the hook: SISU is a side project of Sandra Vu, who plays drum in Dum Dum Girls, an indie rock band signed to the famed Sub Pop record label. In SISU, Vu plays with another Dum Dum Girl, keyboardist Jules Medeiros, as well as guitarist Ryan Wood, drummer Nathanael Keefer and bassist Chris Stevens. The band’s music is dreamy and sparse, with gentle vocals backed by electro beats.
SISU is joined by two new-ish local bands: Natural Thrills and Double Jump. More info here.
Thanksgiving Eve is known as the biggest bar night of the year. It’s part high-school reunion, part pre-family-gathering numbing, part nothing-to-do-tomorrow-so-let’s-go-crazy and part plain ol’ hype. Whatever the reason, there are a lot of options if you’re looking for something to do tonight. Peruse the fliers below to see.
Just do us one favor. Since you might be hanging out with some ex-Fresnans in town to see their kin, try to show them a good time. Let them leave town with a good taste in their mouth.
Since we sometimes get a good laugh at the oddball things that pass as nightclub promotions in this city, I feel compelled to share when the club promoters and DJs join together to do something nice. That’s what they’re doing tonight. At Fajita Fiesta, the usual Margarita Mondays is on temporary hiatus, making way for an event that aims to raise money for Hurricane Sandy relief efforts. Per the flier, 100% of the money raised goes to American Red Cross.
