What's your playground?

Whether you're a sports enthusiast looking for the next big game, an avid art lover in search of hidden treasures, a foodie with a big appetite for fresh produce and local flavors, or the next Olympic snowboarding champion, Fresno has a playground for you, any time of year!

Located at the base of three national parks, the Fresno region is at the heart of California and serves as the agriculture capital of the world. The beauty of the region's natural landscape is worthy of a visit that will inspire an entire family and keep everyone entertained.

As the fifth largest city in the state, Fresno offers world-class amenities from an international airport, hotels, restaurants, spas, and other attractions that will cater to your traveling whim any time of year. It won’t take long before any visitor becomes a part of the authentic spirit that exists in Fresno and understands why the county is known as California’s year-round playground.

Discover Fresno

Discover Fresno is written and managed by the staff of the Fresno Convention and Visitors Bureau. Not only are we FCVB staff members, but we are also Fresnans who play, eat, work and live here. We take our children to the zoo, go on dates to dinner and the theatre, hang out in the Tower District and much more!

These are our stories.

Building the Fresno Brand.

The Convention and Visitors Bureau is happy to take the lead in defining and building the Fresno brand. If we are to be a world-class destination, however, it is every resident's responsibility to help spread the word about what makes us unique. To start, all we need to do is collectively celebrate our identity. Follow the Director's blog for regular reports on Fresno and our region's place branding efforts.
