About Us

Events Visalia Foundation is a Non-Profit 501-C3 Organization.  It initiates and ensures the continuance of special events that define the character and personality of Visalia.When Events Visalia Foundation puts on an event, it is to activate the community not as separate people but as a whole.

With the Waiter’s Race it introduces the waiter and waitress to the community; it exposes various employments through participation and sponsorship; and it creates a healthy interaction among the community.

With the St. Patrick’s Day Parade, we not only introduce a culture’s celebration, but we include and want all cultures to participate.  To us, we see that interaction as a conducive energy and positive force in bringing all aspects of the community together. It gives people awareness of other cultures, businesses, and experiences in Visalia.

Events Visalia Foundation is composed of a cross-section of civic minded individuals, it seeks to maintain and increase traditional happenings contributing to the happiness and well-being of Visalia’s citizens.

Any like minded, interested and committed resident is welcome to attend our meetings and participate with us at any level.  Contact us for meetings dates and times at info@eventsvisalia.org.
