The Budweiser Clydesdales Return to Central Oregon—On Display Daily at the 2025 Deschutes County Fair & Rodeo
For the first time in over 20 years, the world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales are making their return to Central Oregon—and they’ll be on display every single day of the 2025 Deschutes County Fair & Rodeo! From July 30 through August 3, fair-goers of all ages can experience these living legends up close and in action.
Each day of the Fair will offer unique opportunities to interact with the Clydesdales, including meet-and-greets, hitching demonstrations, and behind-the-scenes conversations with their expert handlers. Whether you're a lifelong fan or seeing them for the first time, this is your chance to learn about the care, history, and tradition behind one of America’s most iconic symbols.
In a particularly meaningful moment, the Clydesdales will take part in a special evening rodeo performance, where they will escort Folds of Honor scholarship recipients into the arena—a powerful tribute to the military families who have made tremendous sacrifices for our country. This symbolic gesture highlights the Fair’s partnership with Folds of Honor, a nonprofit that provides educational scholarships to spouses and children of fallen or disabled service members.
All Clydesdale activities and appearances are included with Fair admission, giving every guest the opportunity to witness their grandeur without added cost. Whether you’re coming for the rides, the rodeo, the concerts, or the food—this year’s Fair will be made even more memorable by the presence of these majestic horses.
