Celebrate 125 years of Cal Poly at the Modesto Founders Day Celebration!
About this Event

The Cal Poly Alumni — Modesto Community invites you to celebrate Cal Poly's founding at the 2026 Fork 'N' Bottle at 5 p.m., Saturday, March 7, at the Durrer Barn (3501 Dunn Road, Modesto, CA 95358).

On March 8, 1901, Governor Henry Gage signed legislation establishing the California Polytechnic School. This year, we celebrate 125 years of Learn by Doing and Cal Poly pride!

Join us for a fun evening of mingling with fellow Mustangs over lite bites and beverages, all while supporting a great cause. Net proceeds from the event are donated on behalf of the Modesto Community to the CPAA Modesto Community Scholarship, which supports local students attending Cal Poly.

Tickets include wine and beer tastings, lite appetizers and a special Cal Poly swag item. Nonalcoholic beverages will be available.

Early bird tickets ($40) are on sale until Wednesday, Dec. 31
General admission ($55) begins Thursday, Jan. 1, 2026

Don't wait — get your tickets NOW before we sell out!

This event is open to Cal Poly alumni, supporters, and guests ages 21 and over. All ticket sales are final. This is a rain-or-shine event.
