The Community

The town celebrates its rich cultural history with a parade and festival every August. A good number of Salida residents are employed in the agricultural industry, with ConAgra, DelMonte, and Blue Diamond based nearby. Many others work in the area’s sizable healthcare industry, with vocational schools like San Joaquin Valley College supporting them with accessible medical and dental training programs.

College students are drawn to Salida by the wide-ranging programs offered by the Institute of Technology, Modesto (located in Salida) as well as bachelors, masters, and law degrees offered by Humphreys University. Young families will appreciate Salida’s three excellent elementary schools, middle school, beautiful parks, and fun block parties with their friendly, welcoming neighbors!
