Places locals go back toAll places
1
1078 Gallery
The gallery that programs art the town needs to see — exhibition openings are worth putting on the calendar.
A
Argus Bar + Patio
The patio is the town's most reliable outdoor bar; live music most weekends and a calendar worth bookmarking.
B
Bidwell Park
Ten miles of trail from the mansion to the upper gorge — the lower section works any evening, the upper section earns the trip.
B
Blue Room Theatre
Intimate room that programs things nobody else will — variety shows, local film, experimental work — and the scale makes it matter.
C
Chico Air Museum
The Drive-In Saturday is a good low-key option if the weekend's bigger shows feel like too much.
C
Chico Art Center
Open Studios Art Tour runs out of here Saturday — pick up a map and make a morning of it.
C
Chico Certified Farmers Market
Saturday mornings at 7:30am downtown, Wednesdays at North Valley Plaza — both are real markets, not tourist markets.
C
Chico Performances
Amy Tan at Laxson tonight is the kind of event the presenter does well — serious literary figures in a proper auditorium setting.
