World’s Championship Horse Show Expands DatesDuring Kentucky State Fair

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (March 22, 2018) — The Kentucky State Fair Board voted unanimously today to expand the World’s Championship Horse Show during the Kentucky State Fair from eight days to 10 days of the Fair. Held in Freedom Hall in partnership with the American Saddlebred Horse Association (ASHA), the show is the largest and richest American Saddlebred show in the world. The Fair dates are Aug. 16 - 26, 2018. For this year’s event, the first two days will be training/schooling, and the horse show will be held from Aug. 18 - 25, 2018.

Beginning in 2019 and beyond, performances will be held all 10 days.

“For 115 years, this horse show has been the signature event during the Fair and the board voted to give it top billing in Freedom Hall,” said Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet Secretary Don Parkinson who also serves as interim CEO of Kentucky Venues. “We appreciate the continued partnership of the ASHA as we increase the prestige and prominence of the World’s Championship Horse Show.
