2025 World Clydesdale Show
October 1, 2025 - October 5, 2025
Illinois State Fairgrounds
Springfield, Illinois
​
The 2007 & 2011 & 2018 World Clydesdale Shows were held at the Alliant Energy Center in Madison, WI. We have decided to change it up and pursue a new venue and have contracted with the Illinois State Fairgrounds. The Illinois State Fairgrounds is no stranger to major Clydesdale events, having been host to our National Sale for years. With the renovated coliseum, addition of another covered arena, and multiple other arenas for use, we are excited to host a World Class event there!
