Turlock sits along Highway 99 in California's Central Valley, about 100 miles from San Francisco and 68 miles south of Sacramento. Most visitors arrive via SR-99, which connects directly to Modesto (10 miles north) and other valley cities. Bay Area drivers typically use I-580 east through Altamont Pass to reach SR-99 south. The flat agricultural landscape experiences hot summers and mild winters. The monthly Turlock Swap Meet at the fairgrounds has been a regional tradition since 1967.
