Excitement is building as we officially launch the 150-day countdown to the 2025 Adelaide Equestrian Festival, which will take place in the picturesque East Park Lands from Thursday 1 May to Sunday 4 May, 2025.
We follow the incredible success of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, which generated global interest and recognition for the sport of eventing, and we are thrilled to build on that momentum.
The Organising Committee for the Adelaide Equestrian Festival is committed to continuing the legacy of this prestigious event, now in its 25th year. As the only 5-Star event in the Southern Hemisphere and the only Horse Trials held in the heart of a major city anywhere in the world, we are proud to offer an exceptional experience for both competitors and spectators alike.
This past year, we saw over 30,000 spectators join us, marking the largest equestrian audience in the region, whilst offering the richest prize pool for competitors also. We are grateful for the continued support of our sponsors, whose involvement helps make this event possible, and we are excited to announce new partnerships in the months ahead.
Our entertainment and educational programming will be a thrilling fusion of global stars and elite competitors, seamlessly combined with locally celebrated entertainers, all tailored to captivate our diverse equine audience. Whether you’re an avid enthusiast or enjoying a family-friendly day out, there’s something for everyone. We can’t wait to unveil our special guests, whose presence will elevate this already exceptional festival to new heights. Stay tuned for an unforgettable experience!
Tomorrow, we will launch our ticket sales campaign with a new ticketing platform provider, FLICKET. We’re excited to introduce a refreshed pricing structure that makes our premium ticket options more affordable—breaking from traditional trends in event pricing.
One of the highlights of the 2025 Festival will be the Lakeside Tavern—the ultimate viewing destination in Rymill Park. With tickets priced at just $80 and a limited capacity of just 350 patrons, we expect this unique experience to sell out quickly!

In addition to the Festival itself, we are thrilled to announce that we have secured the rights to host the 2026 and 2029 Australian-based Oceania Championships, further cementing Adelaide’s reputation as a hub for world-class equestrian events.
