Positioned right where the San Joaquin Valley meets the Sierra Nevada, Bakersfield is a thriving community that wears its unique heritage on its sleeve. While one of California’s largest cities today, Bakersfield’s local character is heavily influenced by its agricultural background. Horse shows are popular, with many filling the calendar, and locals love to take advantage of the outlying landscape in off-road vehicles. Festivals throughout the year celebrate the city’s diverse cultural influences, including Native American, Basque, Greek, and Scottish events.
Musical traditions run deep in Bakersfield, and largely define the community. The city is nicknamed “Nashville West” for its tremendous output of country music over the years, with legendary hometown performers like Merle Haggard and Buck Owens popularizing the “Bakersfield Sound” from the 1960s forward and influencing generations of musicians in the process; today, the bars and venues of Downtown Bakersfield play host to musicians of all genres, continuing the city’s proud legacy.
