“Redding’s famously good weather makes for several patio dining options, including overlooking the Sacramento River, or decide between any of the grab-and-go establishments that make it easy to fill up before your ride, hike, paddle, or run. If your visit to Redding falls in the ‘romantic getaway’ category, our wine bars, lake and river dinner cruises, and fine dining restaurants can help with that.”

“Redding’s year-round hunger for excitement and entertainment runs the gamut. Our stages have welcomed Pink Martini, Jim Gaffigan, Chinese acrobats, and Broadway shows. Our streets come alive with festivals, grilldowns, ziplines, and even good ol’ fashioned parades.”

“Forbes said we were the only west coast city among the top ten trout fishing destinations in the country, and the San Francisco Chronicle called us the ‘Gem of the U.S. trail system.’ Then there’s our world-renowned Sundial Bridge, nearby state and national parks, and a downtown scene with live music, dining, performances, and public art. Art and science exhibits at Turtle Bay Exploration Park inspire all ages, and 300 sunny days per year mean just about every weekend has some sort of race, festival, or event. Add in our lakes and waterfalls, bike shops and SUP rentals, and you’ll have a hard time deciding where to begin. ”
