Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration - Shelbyville, TN

The historic Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration Grounds in Shelbyville, TN is home to The Tennessee Walking Horse National Celebration, which takes place each year in late summer for the 11 days ending on the Saturday night before Labor Day.

Nearly a quarter of a million tickets are sold to fans from more than 40 states -- fans that travel to Shelbyville, Tennessee to enjoy the excitement of the Tennessee Walking Horse Celebration. Calsonic Arena, our indoor arena, can seat up to 7,000 people for concerts. In this arena we have had monster truck shows, circuses, country music concerts, dog shows, car shows, motocross events, rodeos, etc., in addition to horseshows. The building was designed with the equine events as our number one priority, but we are delighted that we can host an event of almost any type.

Calsonic Arena is booked approximately 40 out of the 52 weekends each year. Breeds such as Arabians, Ponies of the Americas, Quarter Horses, Spotted Saddle Horses, Racking Horses, Tennessee Walking Horses, miniatures, and saddlebreds, call our facility their "home" during the weekends that they use our world class facility.
