Come take a walk with us!
Today, Downtown Visalia is a blaze of fun and now sports these unique pieces of eye candy for the many tourists and local pedestrians to view and enjoy. Start your ART ON FIRE Hydrant Walk at Santa Fe and Main Street. Heading west on Main Street, you will enjoy one or two hydrants on both the north and south side of each block. As you stroll down the 18 blocks, stop into one of the many fine eateries and pick up a lunch to go. At the west end of the hydrant tour, you will have a choice of either the Mayor's Park or The Ralph C. Moore Rose Garden Park to enjoy your lunch. Then make your way back downtown to enjoy a special cold treat as you explore the many wonderful shops in Visalia's beautiful downtown area.
Designs for the artworks now seen on twenty two fire hydrants in Downtown Visalia spread like wildfire. Replacing the traditional yellow, the selected hydrants became the canvass for creative designs with unique themes.
As you visit each hydrant on the walk, you will notice a plaque acknowledging the artist, the title of the artwork, and the 
sponsor of that hydrant. Arts Visalia would like to thank many local businesses and community members whose donations made this project possible with a very special Thank You to the Visalia Fire Department and CAL Water for its help and support for Art of Fire.
