About the IEF Festival - IEF Overview

The 2010 International Equestrian Festival™

September 25 - October 10, 2010
Downtown in the Convention Center - Lexington, KY
1 p.m. - 9 p.m. daily 

Traditionally, visitors drawn to the area celebrate nightly in the town centers and squares of European cities that have hosted this honored event. And we are proud to announce that downtown Lexington will continue in this tradition – and with the addition of some very exciting events to entertain and delight the worldwide audiences that will gather together after the horses return to their stables.

Horse Capital Productions will host its highly-anticipated International Equestrian Festival in downtown Lexington – a fun-filled continuation and addition to the daily activities located outside downtown.

Kentucky Festival has something for everyone - 2010 IEF

In short, it’s going to be a great chance for anyone who attends (or even those who were not able to get tickets) to participate in an incredible selection of activities, vendor/shopping opportunities and all the extra exciting events that will fill the downtown area and bring crowds out to celebrate unlike Lexington has ever seen before…that’s hundreds of thousands of potential customers!



The International Equestrian Festival will be the perfect compliment to a day of international equine sport, as well as a great way to keep the good times and fun rolling into the night. It will invite everyone to join in the fun of visiting vendors, shopping for a myriad of goods, dining in wonderful restaurants and taking in the sites and sounds of the downtown and its many plazas, parks and fountains – all located within blocks of the International Equestrian Festival's expo.

Each day, as the world-wide audience departs from the competitions, the International Equestrian Festival will open its doors of over 100,000 square feet of exhibition and convention space and invite everyone to continue in its revelry right alongside the cities largest performance space – Rupp Arena – where it's said that nightly concerts and entertainment will be hosted. It’s the perfect place to gather and designate as the “Let’s meet there!” spot to start a great night of celebrations.


The International Equestrian Festival is an independently produced event by Horse Capital Productions, LLC.
