Beautifully situated at the base of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Porterville is an All American City that boasts a vibrant historic downtown district with boutique shops, restaurants, galleries, and professional offices.

There’s so much to experience in Porterville. Get awed by the magnificent Sequoia trees and follow the Trail of 100 Giants in Sequoia National Forest or in nearby Balch Park. Get a little boat and fishing action in at Lake Success, or, if you want an adrenaline rush, watch stock-car racing at Rocky Hill Speedway. If golf is your game, River Island Country Club is known to be one of the most challenging golf courses in the region.

Porterville’s history is fascinating, and it’s worth a stop at historic Zalud House and Porterville Historical Museum to learn about the region’s Native American, pioneer, and agricultural heritage. The First Friday Art Walk is a great way to explore the historic downtown galleries. Centennial Plaza Park in the downtown has a gazebo where musicians often perform in front of the 2-sided “Marching Through Time” historical band mural. The local Barn Theater is one of California’s longest running community theaters.
