Dear Visitor -

Thank you for your interest in Fresno County!  Whether you are attending a  convention, enjoying one of our many attractions or annual special events, or are on your way to one of our three neighboring national parks, we know your stay in Fresno will be a pleasant and memorable one.

The Fresno City and County Convention and Visitors Bureau is proud of our region and has created this web-site and Visitor's Guide to be your primary resources for designing your stay.  Fresno County is a destination where the pace of life is in a natural rhythm with the seasons, offering a return tot he outdoors.  In the winter, our mountains feature some of the best skiing around.  Spring and summer can be enjoyed at our numerous lakes, rivers, and parks.  Fall harvest festivals celebrate our status as being the number one agricultural county in the nation.

The days are longer and the possibilities endless for how to rejuvenate your spirit.  The magnificent fields are in bloom and local flavors come alive again. Experience small town charm at its best as you shop, dine, and stroll through our parks and historic main streets.  Our area attractions will provide you and your family with much fun and relaxation.

As the region's profile grows, there is a strong will to see that the Valley's tourism development is sustainable to keep the open landscapes preserved, and the charm and grace of the quality of life preserved.  It is our wish to support that important growth.  We aim to provide a guide to "authentic experience" that reflects the scenic grandeur, cultural richness, and spirit of the Central Valley.

Enjoy!

Alan Autry, Mayor

City of Fresno
