The social event of the summer
The Hampton Classic is a world-class horse show held every year in Bridgehampton — the week leading up to Labor Day. Since 1976, it has been the crown jewel of the Hamptons summer social calendar, drawing top riders, celebrities, and spectators from around the world.
Across eight days of competition, you'll witness Grand Prix show jumping, hunter and equitation classes, plus a full lineup of shopping boutiques, dining, and family activities. It's equal parts sporting event, fashion show, and Hamptons experience.
