The Golegã Horse Fair is Portugal’s most famous equestrian festival, where tradition, culture, and the elegance of the Lusitano horse come together. Every November, the charming town of Golegã becomes the heart of Portugal’s equestrian world during the National Horse Fair. Known as the “Capital of the Horse,” it welcomes riders, breeders, and visitors from around the globe to celebrate the noble Lusitano. The festival blends thrilling competitions, parades, and traditional costumes with the lively atmosphere of music, roasted chestnuts, and local wine — a unique cultural experience where history and passion for horses truly come alive.
