Get ready, Cheeseheads and Hawkeyes! The legendary Green Bay Packers Tailgate Tour is hitting the road again, bringing the spirit of Lambeau Field directly to the fans. This annual pilgrimage, a beloved tradition that connects the team with its heartland, kicks off on April 14th and will roll through communities in both Wisconsin and Iowa.
The tour bus, packed with current and alumni Packers stars, is more than just a ride—it's a mobile celebration of community and philanthropy. While the main fundraising events are scheduled in Mount Pleasant, Janesville, Dyersville (Iowa), and Wisconsin Rapids, the bus is famous for its surprise pop-up visits. Keep an eye out at local schools, hospitals, and businesses for a chance to see your favorite players up close!
This year's roster features a great mix of fresh talent and familiar faces. Joining the tour are current Packers Edgerrin Cooper and Evan Williams, alongside alumni legends James Jones, Randall Cobb (who steps in for the traded Colby Wooden), Desmond Bishop, and Brandon Jackson. To maximize fan interaction, the tour will focus on mingling and shared experiences, so don't expect formal autograph sessions.
The heart of the tour is its support for local causes. Each stop features a fundraising tailgate party with a VIP reception, all for a great cause. Here’s the schedule for fans looking to join the fun and support their community:
• April 14, Mount Pleasant, WI: Benefiting Habitat for Humanity at Campus Park. Tickets are $40 (1,200 available).
• April 15, Janesville, WI: Supporting Project 16:49 at Woodman’s Sports & Convention Center. Tickets are $40 (1,200 available).
