TRAVEL UPDATES
“If you are like me, you love the fall...cool evenings, incredible foliage, beautiful sunsets, low humidity and awesome ‘comfort’ food. What’s great about being in Modesto is that you get all that and so much more.” - CEO Todd Aaronson

Modesto is geographically at California’s heart. Your experiences here will reflect the warmth of our rich heritage and kind-hearted people. While Modesto has transformed into one of the largest cities in California with more than 208,839 residents, it has retained its old-world charm and traditional values. Several historical landmarks remain well preserved in town, now sitting side by side with new additions, such as the Gallo Center for the Arts, Vintage Faire Mall and modern medical centers.
