Festivities begin Wednesday, October 15, with the Trophy Cup Kickoff Party at Tulare Golf Course at 6:00 p.m. The evening will feature a bracket-style horseshoe tournament pitting drivers and teams against each other for bragging rights, Putt Putt for Charity open to all attendees, great food and drinks, and a relaxed driving range atmosphere to celebrate the start of an unforgettable weekend.
Throughout the weekend, guests can look forward to a full schedule of activities. Included with this release are the 2025 daily schedule of events, details for the Cornhole Tournament presented by North County Baggerz Cornhole Club, information on the return of the popular Tulare County Fair Heritage Foundation Breakfast, and the debut of the Trophy Cup Fan Fest—made possible through the Rayce Rudeen Foundation. More driver appearances and fan details will be announced soon.
New this year is the first-ever Casino Night, bringing a taste of Las Vegas to the fairgrounds. The event will feature exciting raffle prizes such as a trip to Las Vegas, four days of Trophy Cup camping for 2026 and 2027, and more. Each guest will receive $500 in free “funny money” to enjoy the evening’s casino tables, including fourteen blackjack tables, five poker tables, three craps tables, and two roulette tables.
