The ninth annual Atlanta Fashion and Polo Classic returns to Fairburn on Saturday, September 19. Hosted at Bouckaert Farm from 12:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m., the event combines competitive polo matches with fashion, food, and music.
Presented by the Miguel Wilson Collection and the Ride to the Olympics Foundation, the event serves as the primary fundraiser for youth equestrian programs. Proceeds directly support underrepresented youth in equestrian sports, including the Morehouse Polo Club and the Atlanta B.E.S.T. Academy Polo Team.
Weekend festivities begin Friday, September 18, with a welcome party at The Westin Atlanta Airport Hotel. Saturday’s main event will feature three party tents, signature cocktails, gourmet food, and live musical performances alongside the polo competition.
Singer, songwriter, and actor Tyrese will headline the event as a special guest performer. The match lineup includes players from the Morehouse Polo Club, the Atlanta B.E.S.T. Academy Polo Team, and a visiting Nigerian Polo Team.
Several public figures and entertainers are scheduled to attend, including Frank Ski, Kenny Burns, Bryan-Michael Cox, Clifton Powell, Rob Riley, Pastor Troy, and Red Grant. More than 2,000 attendees are expected over the course of the weekend.
The Ride to the Olympics Foundation created the Morehouse Polo Club, which debuted at the second annual event as the first Historically Black Colleges and Universities polo team before earning official U.S. Polo Association certification in 2020. The foundation also partnered with Atlanta B.E.S.T. Academy and 100 Black Men of Atlanta to form the nation’s first all-Black high school polo team.
