In the heart of the Central Valley, Bakersfield has easy access to natural wonders, cultural events and historic attractions. A surprisingly musical city, it is the birthplace of the country music genre known worldwide as the Bakersfield Sound, and its agricultural wonders provide lots to explore including breed shows, Scottish Games, museums and more. It’s only a short drive to the Southern Sierra Nevada Mountains where you can experience top-rated whitewater rafting, fly-fishing and hiking. The local dining scene is also unique with award winning Basque restaurants which are some of the oldest and most historic in town. Be sure not to miss Native American cultural events, casinos and the many nearby raceways.

Visit one of our many world famous Basque restaurants or enjoy our own local breed of country music known worldwide as the Bakersfield Sound. Outdoor sites and adventures such as the Centennial Garden and Convention Center, Lake Ming, Tehachapi Windmills, and Southern Sierra Mountains, which feature whitewater rafting, fly-fishing and hiking, are only a few miles away and are complimented by many local museums such as the Kern County Museum and Pioneer Village, the West Kern Oil Museum, California Living Museum (which has a zoo, botanic garden, and natural history museum) and the Bakersfield Museum of Art. For those looking for excitement, there are a host of raceways nearby including the Mesa Marine Raceway, Famosa Raceway, and Bakersfield Raceway as well as the Eagle Mountain Casino and plenty of places to golf.
