keeneland Fall 2026
Friends:
It's that time again. Keeneland's Fall Meet opens this Friday, October 2nd, and runs through October 24th. Opening weekend is Fall Stars Weekend, three days of the best racing you'll see all year, with eight races that send their winners straight to the Breeders' Cup.
This fall is a big one. Keeneland turns 90 on October 15th, and the Breeders' Cup comes back to Lexington October 30th–31st. Between the races and the sales, Bourbon County is going to be busy all month.
If you've got friends or family coming in for the races, send them to Main Street. Downtown Paris is worth the drive, and the many downtown shops are all waiting to help create a memorable visit to Paris KY
See you at the track, and see you on Main Street.

P.S. Let's roll out the red carpet, Bourbon County. Visitors from all over the world will be heading our way this month, and the welcome they get in Paris is the one they'll remember. Wave, point the way, recommend a good lunch spot, and show them what a Kentucky small town looks like at its best. And a big thank-you to all our neighbors on Main Street: the shops, restaurants, and small businesses that make downtown Paris worth the trip. We're proud to share the street with you.
