Join us as we celebrate, serve, and enhance our community—one event at a time!
Chalk Walk
Our annual Chalk Walk is a fun, family-friendly event where artists of all ages come together to transform our parks into vibrant outdoor galleries. It's a creative competition that brings color, community, and imagination to life—one sidewalk square at a time!
Love Our Parks Day
February 25th marks Love Our Parks Day, honoring the anniversary of Visalia’s first park. Each year, we invite local retailers to join us in celebrating by making a small donation or offering customers a way to give back—helping us preserve and enhance the parks that make Visalia special.
Independence Spectacular - July 3rd
Our annual Independence Day Spectacular at Riverway Sports Park features a stunning drone show, live concerts, family activities, and a variety of food vendors—making it a can't-miss community celebration. The Foundation proudly hosts a beer booth at the event, with proceeds helping fund improvements to our local parks.
Fromage Frolic
Our Fromage Frolic is a delicious celebration of all things cheesy—featuring creative grilled cheese dishes made with locally produced, dairy-based products. It’s a fun, flavorful way to support our parks and spotlight our local ag community!
Concerts in the Park
We proudly partner with Momentum Broadcasting and Bueno Beverage to host Free Concerts in the Park, bringing live music and community fun to our local green spaces. While admission is free, any funds raised during the event go directly toward supporting and improving Visalia’s parks.
Softball Tournaments
This isn’t just a tournament—it’s the kickoff of a long-standing community tradition. Expect competitive softball, live music, local vendors, school booster clubs, beer gardens, and family fun. With the goal of drawing attendees and teams from across the Central Valley and beyond, this event will offer incredible exposure for community-minded sponsors.
Bingo
We’re bringing the fun back with Penny Bingo and Family Bingo Fundraiser Saturdays at the Visalia Senior Center—classic games, great company, and all for a good cause!
