We invited three notable people to experience our city and the nearby Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks. To share what makes Visalia special, our local hosts created unique itineraries for each of our passionate visitors. Their stories will inspire your next trip.
Kevin Symons, star of the hit comedy "Parks and Rec," explored history and culture in the city that ignited his passion for the stage.
“When my old classmate invited me back to Visalia, I couldn’t resist. A charming town with rich history, adventure, and a gateway to the great outdoors. Let’s see what adventure awaits.”
Steve Jones is a professional musician, producer, horseman, jouster, as well as a recreational rock climber and avid outdoorsman. His zest for adventure is a perfect fit to Live Visalian.
"From the giant sequoia trees to the towering mountains to the cool city vibe, I can't wait to explore Visalia."
Newly engaged couple, Mina and Dom, are professional concert musicians (she's a violinist and he's a pianist) and pet-parents to adorable Peanut, who are considering a wedding in Sequoia National Park. They have been invited to tour outdoor wedding venues, explore the national parks and to experience Visalia's Ag-Culture.
"The drive to Visalia from L.A. was so easy and we are thrilled to be able to bring Peanut along for the trip."
It's easy to Live Visalian just like our celebs. You can follow each of their custom itineraries or follow your own. Visalia make a perfect basecamp to the Sequoias.
