If you visit in October, be sure to look up the Big Fresno Fair. As its name suggests, this is Fresno County's big annual festival, and is actually the fifth largest fair in the state. Come by for live musical performances by local, regional, national and even international artists. The carnival and special exhibits promise all-day fun for people of all ages.
Although you will have to drive about two hours outside of Fresno to reach it, Yosemite National Park is well worth the trip. This national park encompasses 761,268 acres, with spectacular granite cliffs, waterfalls and Giant Sequoia groves. The seven square miles of Yosemite Valley are wonderful for camping, hiking, biking and even swimming. This designated wilderness is the perfect outdoor escape from urban life.
Step back in time and enjoy a romantic ride from Fresno Carriage, which offers horse-drawn carriage rides for weddings, anniversaries and other special events. This locally owned and operated company centers out of the foothills of Central Valley, and the beautiful Percheron horses are available for reservations in all areas of Fresno County.
