Lexington, KY — Horse Aid Live Memorial Day at The Red Mile is set for Monday, May 30. In addition to live music, the event will feature a chili cook-off, promotions, and vendor booths. The musical lineup and ticket information will be announced this spring.

“We are looking forward to an enhanced festival atmosphere with non-stop music, chili, concessions, and promotions. Plus, because the live racing schedule is now in the fall at the Red Mile, there are no horses racing so the music won’t be interrupted,” stated Cyndi Greathouse, Horse Aid Live founder and executive director. “The Red Mile is a wonderful facility that we can now fully utilize to offer greater promotional and hospitality benefits for sponsors and concert goers.”

Event production will be handled by experienced veteran JD McHargue, producer/promoter for the previous Red Mile Memorial Day events and Horse Aid Live board member. “I’m excited to help bring back the Memorial Day event. Lexington will once again have a festival to kick off summer while helping Lexington’s signature icon, the horse.”

Sponsorships are now available. All sponsorships include hospitality privileges and tickets. Select sponsorships include private hospitality, VIP band and stage access, sponsor promotions before and during the event, and vendor booths. All sponsorships are set-up to be customized per sponsor requests. Vendor booths are also available solely, or in conjunction with sponsorships.

Chili cook-off information, rules, and entry forms will be available March 1 on www.HorseAidLive.org. The chili cook-off will be judged in three categories: non-commercial, bars and restaurants.
