Harvest Green cornhole tournament offers cash prizes, live music, food trucks

Harvest Green will turn its Summer Trucks and Tunes night into a low-barrier cornhole stop on June 6, with a tournament built to welcome first-timers as much as seasoned throwers. The event runs from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. at 3400 Harvest Corner Drive in Richmond, and the entry fee is $20 per team, or $10 per player.

The competitive hook is real, too. First place will take home $200, second place will earn $100 and third place will get $50, for a total purse of $350. The tournament will use double elimination, giving every team a second chance after one loss, and each team is guaranteed at least two games. If a pair shows up without a partner, Harvest Green says staff will match them with another player. The event is open to all skill levels, and no experience is necessary.

That mix of welcome and competition fits the setting. Harvest Green describes itself as Houston’s first master-planned agrihood in Richmond, built around a 12-acre Village Farm at the center of the community. The development spans 1,700 acres and includes more than 130 acres of lakes and waterways, 470 acres of greenbelts and open space and a 20-mile walkable trail system. The Farmhouse event lawn often hosts resident events, movies and concerts, and the community says a full-time lifestyle director is in place to keep that calendar moving.

The cornhole night is part of that wider programming push, not a one-off experiment. Harvest Green hosted a Trucks & Tunes plus Corn Hole Tournament in April 2024, and the return of the format shows how easily the game fits the neighborhood’s food-and-music setup. This year’s event adds food trucks, face painting and live music from the Charly Rose Band, giving casual spectators enough to stay for the evening while regular players still have a bracket worth chasing.

For a summer neighborhood event, the formula is simple and effective: a modest entry fee, guaranteed games, partner matching for solo players and cash on the line. In a community built around a working farm and frequent resident gatherings, cornhole becomes more than a side attraction. It becomes the easiest way in.
