Lexington is an energized city on the move - with more to offer than ever - and we are thrilled to be the host city for the 2015 Breeders' Cup World Championships at Keeneland. To allow our guests to fully experience our city, we've planned a weeklong festival showcasing all that Lexington has to offer. Join us during Breeders' Cup Festival Week.
A homecoming of sorts, the Breeders' Cup was the brainchild of legendary local horseman, John Gaines. This yearly event comprises the richest two days in Thoroughbred racing, and showcases the best racehorses in the world.
All eyes will be on Lexington during this time, and the Breeders' Cup Host Committee and city of Lexington are dedicated to making the 2015 Breeders' Cup experience unforgettable for our guests and our locals.
There will be special opportunities to experience Lexington all week long. Enjoy world famous horse farm and distillery tours, outdoor music, parades, parties, food competitions, a 5-K Race and more.
We invite you to come early and make a week of it. Come celebrate with us.
