The world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales are making their way to Central Oregon for a rare appearance at the 2025 Bi-Mart Deschutes County Fair & Rodeo, presented by Indian Head Casino. The horses will be at the Fair from July 30 through Aug. 3, helping to raise awareness for Folds of Honor. This nonprofit organization provides educational scholarships to the spouses and children of fallen or disabled service members and first responders.
“We’re incredibly proud to welcome the Budweiser Clydesdales to Redmond,” said Geoff Hinds, Director of the Deschutes County Fair & Expo. “These horses represent American tradition and pride, and their presence will help us spotlight an initiative we care deeply about—supporting military and first responder families through Folds of Honor.”
Thanks to the partnership between the Deschutes County Fair & Expo Center and local Anheuser-Busch distributor AB ONE, fairgoers will have daily opportunities to see the Clydesdales. These opportunities include hitching demonstrations, up-close meet-and-greets with the horses, and question-and-answer sessions with trainers, handlers, and drivers.
As part of this initiative, the Fair and AB ONE have pledged to donate funds to Folds of Honor in 2025. The horses will also help deliver a powerful visual tribute by escorting Folds of Honor scholarship recipients into the rodeo arena during one of the Fair’s evening performances.
The Clydesdale experience is included with Fair admission. To learn more about the Budweiser Clydesdales’ appearance schedule or how you can support Folds of Honor, visit www.deschutesfair.com.
