PRAYERFEST
THURSDAY • MAY 7, 2026
Doors Open: 5:30 PM
Tulare Veterans Memorial Building
1771 E Tulare Ave, Tulare
Since 2007, the Tulare Rotary Club and our generous sponsors have hosted a unique and inspirational non-denominational event to coincide with the National Day of Prayer.
PrayerFest is a special evening that includes dinner and fellowship, special music, a keynote address, and eight prayers, led by local people, that cover all aspects of community life.
The power of prayer has been proven to work. We hope you'll join with us and the MANY other groups across America who will be observing the National Day of Prayer. Your attendance will have a spiritual impact and we know you'll be blessed by the experience.
