Come join us on August 3rd, 2025 for the Polo Classic!
The Polo Classic is an annual charity event that takes place at Twin City Polo Club in Maple Plain, MN.
This is the preeminent polo event in the Twin Cities with a rich history of exciting competition and unique events. Join us to watch exciting championship polo matches while enjoying a day of champagne sipping, divot stomping, classic and exotic cars, hat parade, horse jump off, silent auction, food trucks, kids area, and other activities!
The Polo Classic (Since 1989) is a fundraiser for This Old Horse, Inc., a MN organization that supports retired and rescued racehorses.
This is a rain or SHINE event!
EVERYONE CAN GET TICKETS: www.thepoloclassic.com/general-tickets (Pay online and then you just check in with your name at the gate.)
For those that came to my summer party in years past, this Polo Classic invite replaces that party. Yeah, my backyard was great but this supports a great cause and is so much fun!
