The 21st edition runs Saturday 24 to Sunday 25 October 2026 from 10:00 (KTO gives the closing time as 17:00 in one place and 18:00 in another), with pony feeding, riding, horse-history exhibitions and contests, and evening events from 18:00: a night run on the racecourse's sand track on Saturday (₩10,000) and an outdoor concert on Sunday.
