Fresno State Vintage Days

The dude , older niece and I came to Vintage Days on 05/01/22 as the niece loves attending festivals yay! Vintage Days is such a lovely event put on by Fresno State. It was well organized. A lot of police presence so we all felt safe.I honestly don't know where to start. I'll start with parking. Parking is free which was nice as we didn't have to pay woohoo! We parked by the Science 2 building (brought back memories when I went there from 2011 to 2015). It was fun to show my niece where I went to college and she now thinks Vintage Days is what goes on at colleges everyday haha I had to explain to her.Anywho , they have a plethora of shops and items for EVERYONE from kids, young adults, adults and so on. The niece of course gravitated to the arts and crafts booth ran by college students or volunteers, we got her a wrist band to check out all the rides and games even the petting zoo! They had a video game section inside which was cool and we played 3D super Mario with an actual maze, they also had vintage video games as well. The niece had such a ball!!!! She lost it when she saw baby yoda and the Mandalorian!!! We were both kids in that moment including the dude too haha. Got the nieces face painted . I spoiled her all day! They had so much food but we couldn't find water :( or anything to drink which was bummer as the time went on as the niece was really thirsty. I forgotten to pack water -_- so I went to 10 spots and no one had anything. Only staff had waters. Anywho, I ended up buying a Bonsai which was a total night mare as it was infested with bugs unfortunately when I brought it home from the vendor which is common when I researched the issue but it was beautiful while it lasted. Presently I had to spray it down and it's barely surviving ! But glad either way to support the man's small business. Overall, Vintage days is a MUST! Make sure to bring water or snacks as it was scarce this year. Great time and a lot of fun. We stayed the whole time practically!!!

Vintage Days 2022 was an absolute success. Hubby and I took the two toddler grandkids on Saturday. We planned to walk around a bit, eat lunch, let them enjoy the kids zone a bit and then head out. We told their parents we'd be back in a couple of hours. We were having so much fun, we were there almost 4 1/2 hours!First we bought drinks and food from the student vendor booths and found a nice spot to enjoy, quickly. The kids were ready to check out all the fun. Thank you organizers for a fabulous Kids Zone, wow! Reptile Bob, Kim's Petting Zoo with pony rides, all of the inflatables from California Jumping. Just wow! Oh the train too. Perfect location. The kids rode the train 8x while we sat in the shade and enjoyed their excitement.The kids wanted Boba but the line was too long. We walked through the craft vendors a bit but the kids were ready to go by that time so we didn't get to enjoy. Next year.$20 for a kids bracelet was an absolute steal.No fee for parking, thank you.Food prices absolutely reasonable.

Vintage Days comes around once a year during April. I always enjoy coming out and check it out. Weather is great and not very crowded. Decent amount of food booths. Petting zoo will be here tomorrow. Zip line bounce house. Tonight Friday will be showing Spider Man out by satellite union. Bring a lounge chair to sit under the stars open for the public. Relaxed parking.

Awesome Cinnamon Rolls ( from the Fresno Fair ) . Come get them for your fix . Family business since 1970'ish
