EquiFest of Kansas

EquiFest of Kansas: Celebrating 30 Years of Horses, Heritage, and Heart

Since its debut in 1998 in Wichita, the Kansas Horse Council has proudly produced EquiFest of Kansas, the state’s premier equine expo. After successful years in Topeka (2016) and Salina (2020), the event returned to Topeka in 2026—bringing with it nearly three decades of tradition, innovation, and equine excellence.

In 2027, we celebrate our 30th anniversary, honoring the legacy that has shaped EquiFest into a beloved Kansas tradition.

​

EquiFest is more than an expo—it’s the primary fundraiser for the Kansas Horse Council, your statewide advocate for equine owners, enthusiasts, and industry partners.

​

Each year, roughly 15,000 attendees gather to experience the magic of EquiFest. What makes it extraordinary? The variety. All breeds. All disciplines. All under one roof.
