A Chester County Labor Day tradition since 1943, the Ludwig's Corner Horse Show & Country Fair blends top-level equestrian competition with classic country fair fun. Watch hunters, jumpers, and equitation riders compete across three rings from morning through dusk, culminating in the $10,000 Mini-Prix on Labor Day Monday. The midway offers inflatables, rides, and games for kids, plus food trucks, a beer garden, and live music. Stroll vendor tents for local artisans offering home and garden decor, jewelry, apparel, and gourmet treats. Free admission to the grounds.
