Hello from sunny Bakersfield, California! Located northwest of Los Angeles, this city is a hub for the agriculture industry. The area surrounding Bakersfield is largely known for its production of the country’s supply of carrots, among other crops. Kern County is also known as the energy capital of California, thanks to its massive oil and gas production. But those interested in sustainable energy careers can find jobs here, too, since the area produces over 50% of the state's renewable energy.
Bakersfield is also a great city for music, arts, and culture. If you're a fan of country music, you'll fall in love with the "Bakersfield Sound," the original honky-tonk country music with a seriously cool rock 'n' roll vibe. Head to Buck Owens' Crystal Palace for some live tunes and line dancing in the "Country Music Capital of the West." You can also learn how musicians like Buck Owens and Merle Haggard transformed the genre at the Kern County Museum or the Bakersfield Music Hall of Fame.
Art lovers should visit the Downtown Arts District, where you'll find many art galleries, the historic art deco Fox Theater, and the Bakersfield Museum of Art a few blocks away. This city also provides many beautiful outdoor spaces to explore, and you'll find a lot of like-minded outdoorsy folk. Hiking and biking are popular activities in the Central Valley, and you can join clubs for both activities. Some of the best places for amazing views and challenging adventures include Panorama Bluffs Park, Hart Memorial Park, and Wind Wolves Preserve.
