The 29th Annual Northwest Alabama Saddle-Up for St. Jude Trail Ride and Concert will be held from July 17-19, 2025, at Gardiner Farms in Tuscumbia, Alabama. Founded by Jimmy King, this event combines horseback riding across over 3,000 acres, live music featuring Deana Carter, T. Graham Brown, and Easton Corbin, and an auction to raise funds for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. Over the years, the event has raised millions of dollars to support the hospital’s mission.
In addition to trail rides and concerts, the weekend will include kids’ activities, pony rides, and various food options, creating a family-friendly atmosphere. Susann Hamlin, President/CEO of the Colbert County Tourism and Convention Bureau, highlighted the event’s potential to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars while providing top-notch entertainment in a beautiful setting.
