Visalia, CA - The Visalia Rawhide and On Deck Partners are bringing world-class live music to Visalia with the Rawhide Music Festival, a two-day concert festival that transforms Valley Strong Ballpark into an entertainment destination for the entire Central Valley.
Day 1 (Oct. 24) will feature a dynamic, to-be-announced act, while Day 2 (Oct. 25) brings a powerhouse regional Mexican double-bill, headlined by Los Tucanes de Tijuana, the iconic band whose energetic performances and multi-generational appeal make them a cultural phenomenon across the Southwest - with special guest Tapy Quintero opening the night.
As presenting partners, Groppetti Automotive and Momentum Broadcasting bring their deep roots in the Central Valley to a festival built around community and connection, reinforcing the Groppetti Family businesses’ standing as a trusted, homegrown name across the region it serves.
"We have long been committed to bringing community and music together, whether it was through our iconic JUGFEST, bringing artists to the beautiful Fox Theater or simply to the streets of Visalia; we are proud to continue this commitment and are happy to be collaborating on the Rawhide Music Festival." - Don Groppetti, President, Groppetti Automotive and Managing General Partner and Owner, Momentum Broadcasting.
"The Rawhide Music Festival represents exactly what we're working to achieve here in Visalia, transforming Valley Strong Ballpark into a gathering place for the whole Visalia community," said Julian Rifkind, COO of the Visalia Rawhide. "To bring world-class entertainment like Los Tucanes de Tijuana and other dynamic artists to our ballpark during the off-season is a tremendous opportunity to connect with new audiences and deepen our ties to the Central Valley. This festival showcases the power of our partnership with OnDeck Partners and the vision we share with presenting partners Groppetti Automotive and Momentum Broadcasting."
