Join us in celebrating the community of Hemet, California, where history, humor, and natural beauty all come together in one unforgettable desert town. Founded in 1893, Hemet has been home to ranchers, dreamers, and storytellers - and today it’s still proudly quirky, proudly local, and proudly ours.

​​

Take a stroll down Harvard Street or catch a tribute show at the Hemet Theatre, visit our train station museum, or experience the legendary Ramona Pageant - California’s oldest outdoor drama. Hike the trails of Simpson Park, where oaks, granite boulders, and sweeping views make the desert feel alive. Then drive up Park Avenue, where families gather under shady trees to watch the unlikely neighbors that live there: zebras, bison, long-horned cattle, sheep - and Larry the Dromedary himself.

​

From ancient carvings to outdoor plays, quirky animals to wildflower hikes, Hemet is full of surprises. However you spend your day here, you’ll find yourself saying: "Only in Hemet!" 

​​

Through playful merchandise, local pride, and a little bit of tongue-in-cheek humor, Only in Hemet celebrates the town we love. Because no matter how hot the summers get, how long Florida Avenue feels, or how quirky the stories sound, one thing’s always true: it could only happen here.

​

✨ Only in Hemet.
