VISALIA - Just 7 days away! Join us for the inaugural Visalia Convention Center Boots, Brews and Bacon Festival at the Visalia Convention Center on Saturday, July 29, 2017. The Boots, Brews and Bacon Festival is a beer tasting festival designed to build the appreciation of craft brew all while listening to live music and enjoying what else, bacon!
