Bring the kids with their “competition day sitter” and turn them loose! All spectator parking will be at the North Gate off Gallaher Road and signed accordingly.

Entertainment for bigger “kids”:
- Reserve a RINGSIDE PARKING SPACE for front-row reserved seating overlooking the duPont Arena for the entire weekend.
- Tailgate there or visit the THIS Hospitality Tent.
- Are you a competitor or their entourage? Visit the Triple Crown tent in the trailer/stabling field through the tunnel.
- Looking for a place to SIT and WATCH? We will have bleacher seating at key points this year.
Know someone who wants to learn a bit more about this great sport? Sign up for EVENTING 101. This intro to the sport mini course will meet with a professional rider Friday and Saturday, observing and critiquing live eventing! It’s free too, but please register. (If you are also volunteering, we will work with your volunteer schedule so don’t give that up!)
