Explore the wealth and beauty of Chico Ca. Located in the heart of the North State, Chico's proud culture, location and economy have made it home to one of California's most unique cities. Chico is home to one of the most distinguished state universities - commonly known as Chico State. Chico inner city boasts a diverse population of trees; thus, earning its nickname, The City of Trees.

Known to be a college town, Chico’s rich culture has become a hotspot for many events: live performances frequent both indoor and outdoor stages; in the summer, Thursday night market transforms downtown into a carnival like atmosphere; the Chico Outlaws, a minor-league baseball team, entertains many of the hot summer nights; and the nightlife keeps the streets alive well into the early sunrise.
