Fruit Yard Amphitheater
Modesto, CA · Amphitheater
The Fruit Yard Amphitheater east of Modesto, now branded the Chicken Ranch Casino Resort Amphitheater at The Fruit Yard, runs a clear bag policy to speed up entry. No handbags, purses, or bags of any kind come in unless they are clear. Wallets and small clutches no larger than the size of your hand are allowed. If you arrive without a clear bag, the venue hands out complimentary clear bags at the gate, so a non-compliant bag does not have to send you back to the car.
Outside food and beverages, coolers, pets, cameras, audio and video recording equipment, and umbrellas or canopies are all prohibited. High-back chairs are not allowed, but low beach chairs and blankets are welcome in the general admission section. Camera equipment, laptops, flashlights, drones, strollers, and laser pointers also stay outside.
