BreyerFest Has So Much to Offer!

In the last few years BreyerFest has been bursting at the seams with activities over the three days of the weekend that last year we finally had to admit that Thursday was almost as big of a day as the other three and officially added it to the weekend – sort of like a soft launch for BreyerFest.

So that there is no confusion, the only activities taking place at the Kentucky Horse Park on Thursday, July 9th are up at the Alltech Arena – the workshops in the South Expo Hall and the Open Model Horse Show in the North Expo Hall.  The Resin Renaissance and Breakables Model Horse Shows will be taking place on Thursday July 9th over at the Clarion hotel on Newtown Pike.  These activities all require pre-registration (which will open in the spring) and are separate from your tickets to BreyerFest.  You will still need tickets to BreyerFest to register for these Thursday activities.  As well, on Thursday evening the BreyerFest Artisans’ Gallery is back at the Clarion so fans can shop with all the incredible participating artists!

No other parts of BreyerFest at the Kentucky Horse Park will be open to guests on the 9th, including the Store, Special Run line, Guest Horse Stabling, VIP model pickup, and Celebration Park.  BreyerFest tickets, which will be on sale in a few months, are still only good for July 10-12, 2026 and we look forward to welcoming you to the Kentucky Horse Park on Friday, July 10th to participate in all these incredible experiences.  If you register for a Thursday activity taking place at the KHP, parking is included in your registration and you will not need to pay for parking to participate in the activities taking place at the Alltech Arena on July 9th.

So, what can fans expect from BreyerFest this year starting on Friday morning, July 10th?  For fans joining us in person, you’ll get to meet (and pet!) all our stunning guest horses – like Flinka, who you met last month!; you’ll get to enjoy tons of free activities like Stablemates painting, the mini mock model horse show, free hobby workshops, BreyerFest Seminars, pony rides, and the petting zoo; plus you’ll be able to shop in the BreyerFest Store, the Vendor Marketplace, and see our incredible guest horses performing in the Covered Arena.

For our fans joining us virtually, we have got a content-packed weekend that will make you feel like you’re right there in Kentucky with us!  Our live broadcast featuring host Kimber and roving reporter Morgan in the Park will include interviews with guest horse owners, artists, hobbyists, and fans, plus all-day coverage of the equine action in the Covered Arena.  All ticket holders will have on-demand access to BreyerFest Seminars and a selection of online workshops, plus tons of shopping in the online BreyerFest Store, virtual Marketplace, and virtual Artisans’ Gallery.

If this is your first time participating in BreyerFest, whether in-person or online, we strongly recommend that you take a read through our official “From the Horse’s Mouth” guide to BreyerFest, which outlines what you need to know before the event, the different ticket types and their inclusions, and all sorts of other useful information.  This guide will be published soon on BreyerHorses.com!

Stick around – we have more information coming your way tomorrow!
