Located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California’s Central Valley, Sanger is known as “the Nation’s Christmas Tree City.” Sanger’s nickname comes from the nearby presence of the giant General Grant redwood tree in Kings Canyon National Park, a symbol to many of the Christmas spirit.
Sanger is a suburb with the spirit of a small town. Sanger’s close-knit community often comes together in the downtown area and at annual events such as the Blossom Days Festival, Blossom Trail Run, Veterans Parade, Fall Festival Craft Fair, and the Nation’s Christmas Tree City Toyland Parade. The Sanger Depot Museum chronicles Sanger’s past as a boomtown to its modern status as “the Nation’s Christmas Tree City.” Urban luxuries aren’t far from Sanger with Fresno just 13 miles away.
