The Cornhusker State Games started in 1985 and has become a midsummer tradition attracting thousands of Nebraskans to Lincoln from throughout the state.

The main mission of the Cornhusker State Games is offering good, wholesome, family-oriented activities and fun. The organization takes pride in its competition exposing a multitude of Nebraskans to the benefits of physical fitness, well-being and good sportsmanship.

Opening night is July 11 outside of Pinnacle Bank Arena. Husker volleyball player Rebekah Allick and her brother, former Husker basketball player Josiah Allick, are the torch bearers for the event. This is the 40th anniversary of the Cornhusker State Games.
