The New Albany Classic Invitational Grand Prix and Family Day[1] (generally referred to as "The New Albany Classic") was a unique day-long event held annually from 1998-2017 in New Albany, Ohio at the home of Leslie and Abigail Wexner. The event featured a myriad of family-focused activities including a USEF/FEI-sanctioned equestrian show, where riders competed for $125,000 in prize money. The "Concert at The Classic" featured top musical performers from around the world, and a large-scale family festival atmosphere which included rides, sports experiences, hands-on art activities, musical, and dance entertainment. The event served as the primary fundraiser for The Center for Family Safety and Healing,[2] which seeks to break the cycle of family violence and provide support to victims of domestic abuse.
The last event took place on Sunday, September 24, 2017. By then, the event had hosted over 15,000 people annually, and raised over $32 million for victim's of domestic violence. A spokesperson said the event retired because the World Equestrian Games were occurring at the same time, in September, which made it difficult to attract competitors.
