Clovis Points of Interest
A popular vacation destination, Clovis is only a short drive to the Sierra Nevada, home to Yosemite and Sequoia National parks. Visitors come to Clovis for many other reasons too. Old Town Clovis is the city's oldest and most charming area, having benefited from an impressive redevelopment effort begun more than 20 years ago. Brimming with classic brick sidewalks leading to quaint antique shops and a variety of ethnic restaurants, Old Town is a turn-of-the-century western getaway. Among the city's annual events is the Clovis Rodeo, held on the last weekend in April, and September's ClovisFest, an annual event which draws over 70,000 people and includes the "Red Hot & Real BBQ Championship" competition.
