Modesto’s central location puts you within a short drive of
the ocean, mountains and some of the nations most renowned parks. Day trip
options from Modesto include San
Francisco, Sacramento, and YosemiteNational Park among many others.
Our mild climate makes outdoor activities
enjoyable year round. Modesto is in the heart of
one of the greatest agricultural areas in our nation, the fertile San JoaquinValley. Dairy products, nuts, fruits,
wine grapes, and poultry products are some of our top commodities. If you visit
during early spring, the beautiful orchards in bloom will delight you. May
through November is harvest season. You can “taste Modesto” at our Farmers Market and the many
fresh produce stands in the area.
Modesto is the birthplace of George Lucas and the
inspiration for his popular film American Graffiti. Throughout the month of
June you will find everything from street fairs to classic car parades, concerts,
and showings of American Graffiti as we celebrate Graffiti Summer. So pull out
those Poodle Skirts and hoola hoops
and join us for the festivities!
You simply can’t go wrong in Modesto. We have
something for everyone. If you’ve been here before, come see how we’ve grown.
You’ll find the same cozy city with exciting new attractions.
We look forward to showering you with
hospitality.
