Equestfest is an annual event held at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center in Burbank that offers horse enthusiasts a unique opportunity to see the majestic horses featured in the Rose Parade up close before New Year’s Day. The event showcases a variety of horse breeds performing drills, dances, tricks, and more, with chances to meet riders and horses, watch warm-ups, and enjoy shopping and food vendors. Tickets are priced at $26.50 for general admission and $51.50 for a VIP package, with a new Rose Pit BBQ lunch add-on available for advance purchase.

This festive gathering celebrates the equestrian stars of the holiday season in a spacious, historic setting outside Pasadena, providing fans a rare behind-the-scenes look at the parade’s hoofed participants. Equestfest offers a memorable day out for families and horse lovers alike, with the added excitement of potentially spotting horses from the event during the Rose Parade itself.
