Majestic Draft Horse performances, breath-taking competitions, and seeing a Draft Horse “up close” are all part of the festivities at the 26th annual Draft Horse Classic and Harvest Fair, September 20 – 23, at the Nevada County Fairgrounds in Grass Valley.

The Draft Horse Classic has grown to become the premier Draft Horse show in the western United States, and features six majestic performances. Whether it’s the Draft Horses working farm equipment, pulling carriages, or working side by-side on a hitch – these amazing animals compete with elegance and power and always entertain.

While at the Fairgrounds, take time to visit the Harvest Fair – which is open during the Classic. Activities include live musical entertainment, a clogging jamboree, Treat Street goodies, Art at the Classic, community exhibits, and lots of opportunities to meet and see the Draft Horses.

Once again, guided barn tours will be available on Friday and Saturday of the Classic. For these tours, reservations are required and are limited in space.

On Sunday, back by popular demand, is the 2nd Annual Classic BBQ Cook-Off from

Tasting tickets will be available at the event. Try ribs, chicken, pulled pork tacos, sandwiches, brisket, and a variety of delicious barbecue.
