2025 Sierra Valley Art + Ag Trail

SIERRA VALLEY — Set against the wide-open skies and golden pastures of California’s largest alpine valley, the 2025 Sierra Valley Art + Ag Trail is a one-day celebration of the region’s deep agricultural roots and vibrant creative spirit. This self-guided tour invites visitors to explore working ranches, historic barns, art studios, and cultural landmarks, featuring over 40 local artists, heritage demonstrations like wool spinning and chuckwagon rides, and hands-on experiences such as farm-to-fabric indigo dyeing and a yak petting zoo.
