If four square blocks packed with food, drink, dancing, wrestling — both in mud and out — roller derby and lots and lots of music sounds like the place you want to be, then X marks the spot in downtown Modesto tonight.
From 6 p.m. to 1 a.m., the 13th annual X-Fest will light up the summer night with 12 stages including rock, rap, reggae and hip-hop acts, plus DJs, Santa Cruz's Dancetronauts, Tournament of X pro wrestling matches, a model mud-wrestling pit, the SINtral Valley Derby Girls and a foam dance party.
The event is expected to draw 20,000 people.
X-Fest is held between H and J streets and 10th and 13th streets. Those streets were closed to traffic Friday night and will reopen at 10 a.m. Sunday.
Tickets for the 21-and-older event, put on by Chris Ricci Presents, are $20 in advance or $30 at the gate. They are available at a number of locations, including Boyett stations in Modesto, Oakdale, Salida, Riverbank and Ceres; La Perla Tapatias in Modesto, Ceres, Turlock, Patterson and Riverbank; Don's Mobile Glass in Modesto and Turlock; Car Audio Outlaws in Modesto; and Kwik Serv in Jamestown.
