In 1896, the Devon Horse Show started as a one-day event.
Now, years later, it has become the oldest and largest outdoor multi-breed competition in the United States. It is internationally recognized, USEF-A rated, and one of the most exciting events to happen in the local area. While it draws top competitors from around the world, the show continues to reflect the local traditions and lifestyles of the Philadelphia Main Line.
For 2011, the annual horse show and country fair will take shape on Thursday, May 26 and run through Sunday, June 5. But, while the notable show is months away, tickets go on sale today. Secure some of the most sought-after reserved grandstand seats for every performance of the show, including the Grand Prix!
