Tourism

Located in the Central Valley of California, Bakersfield is home to a historical, agricultural and musical history not found anywhere else in the world. Within a four hour drive from most of California's population, visitors to Bakersfield will find unique dining experiences, outstanding museums, arts, cultural, and theater attractions.

Bakersfield's agriculture is characterized by a warm climate and rich soil, supporting diverse crop production including almonds, grapes, citrus, and a significant portion of the nation's carrot supply. As a major hub in California's vast agricultural heartland, the city's economy relies on this sector, which uses precision farming and automation to optimize production
