Sponsored by Bentley Atlanta, this all-inclusive VIP experience promises a blend of fashion, polo, and luxury. As event founder Miguel Wilson aptly puts it, “The Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic is one of the most significant accomplishments of my career. From my initial vision, this event has rapidly grown into something much larger than I ever imagined. Reaching our seventh year is truly remarkable. We’ve successfully combined culture and luxury, showcasing them through fashion and polo in a unique way.”
Exciting New Additions and Classic Favorites
This year’s itinerary is packed with engaging events, kicking off on Friday, October 11, with the brand-new Black Tie Celebrity Fight Night. Held at the Renaissance Concourse Atlanta Hotel, this formal dinner will feature thrilling boxing exhibitions, setting the stage for an exhilarating weekend.
The festivities continue on Saturday, October 12, with the Cigars Under the Stars event. Hosted at the same venue, this evening promises a relaxed atmosphere under the night sky, complete with premium cigars and a unique social setting.
Sunday, October 13, is a day of highlights, starting with the Atlanta Junior Polo Classic. This event will present a match between children from Prince George’s County, Maryland, and students from Atlanta’s B.E.S.T. Academy, promoting youth engagement and sportsmanship.
The Main Event: A Blend of Class and Culture
The crown jewel of the weekend is the 7th Annual Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic, taking place at The Horse Maison at Bouckaert Farm. Guests can look forward to a variety of delights, including complimentary gourmet food, signature cocktails, party tents, live music, cigar lounges, two polo games, equestrian exhibitions, and a fashion experience. Attendees are encouraged to don their best derby attire to enjoy a day where style meets sport.
This year’s special guests will add to the allure of the event. The lineup includes nationally syndicated radio host Frank Ski, Pastor Jamal Bryant, business mogul and former rapper Master P, and many more celebrities from the realms of music, television, and sports.
A Worthy Cause
The purpose behind the glitz and glamour goes beyond just celebration. The event benefits the Ride to the Olympics Foundation, a non-profit organization that provides support to kids from underprivileged backgrounds who aspire to pursue equestrian activities. All proceeds from the event will go towards this noble cause, ensuring that more kids can chase their equestrian dreams despite socio-economic barriers.
Making a Difference Together
With an event as vibrant and multifaceted as the Atlanta Fashion & Polo Classic, attendees will not only enjoy a weekend of class and culture but also contribute to a cause that empowers the younger generation. It’s a perfect alignment of luxury with purpose, proving that community and celebration can go hand in hand.
