Rural living near the Tulare County Fair
Tulare Southwest is a rural community that embraces agricultural roots. Each September, the community at the Tulare County Fair for several days of live music and carnival rides. “It’s one of the best weekends of the year with the nonstop concerts, and it’s always fun to ride the rides,” says Kristy Martinez of Modern Broker, who is a lifelong Tulare resident. “The community comes together, and local farmers get to show off their farm animals. Even kids participate with their school’s livestock programs.” Farmland comprises most of the neighborhood, but its northeast corner is suburban, with mid-20th century starter homes and newly constructed houses in just-built subdivisions.
Fun at the Tulare County Fair
The Tulare County Fair, hosted just a few blocks east of the neighborhood, is five days full of live music, stock car races and parades. “When I was younger, I waited all year for the Demolition Derby on Sunday nights and the jumbo corn dogs,” says Martinez. “We still go every year, and it’s still so much fun.” Year round, residents visit Mulcahy Park, a 3.5-acre park within walking distance to some housing, to cool off in the splash park, softball or have a relaxing walk on the paved paths. There’s also playground equipment for children. The Tulare Cycle Park in the pastoral part of the neighborhood features a variety of off-road and motocross tracks for thrill seekers. Residents can rent bikes, and there is even a mini track for children. Just north of the neighborhood is the Tulare Historical Museum. The museum opened in 1985 and strives to preserve Tulare's history while featuring rotating art exhibits, like photography exhibits and exhibits celebrating Hispanic heritage.
