About the 2025 Local Host City: Pomona, California
Located in the Pomona Valley, between the Inland Empire and San Gabriel Valley, the city of Pomona is named after the ancient Roman goddess of fruit. Though Pomona is situated in the middle of Southern California, it is only a 20-minute drive from San Antonio Canyon of Angeles National Forest where the range and 288 sunny days a year provide excellent hiking, mountain biking, and skiing opportunities. With a rich history, diverse population, thriving art scene, and top educational institutions, Pomona has something for everyone. Please see 2025 Local Host City: Pomona and Venue, Accommodations, and Travel for more information.
