This year’s festival expected to bring additional $10M into economy

If Saturday’s Kentucky Derby whet your appetite for horse competition, plan on being in town in mid-July. The 5th annual Horse Shows by the Bay starts July 16 and runs through August 3 at the 80-acre Flintfields Horse Park in Williamsburg.

This year, the three-week long equestrian event is expected to attract 1,500 horses and riders to compete in Olympic English riding disciplines of jumping and dressage. In just five years, the number of participants has increased six-fold.

“We attribute this rapid growth to a number of things, like the fact that Traverse City continues to be unique and fun for our guests,” said event co-founder and President Alex Rheinheimer. “However, the biggest reason for the increased attendance is the fact that we now have a permanent Horse Park in which to host the event.”

The Horse Show is the festival locals might not have noticed, but retailers and restaurant owners have grown to love.

The ’07 event drew some 6,000 visitors to the area. Horse Shows by the Bay’s own numbers estimate that each visitor spends an average of $200 per day. By that measurement, the event to date has generated more than $20 million in local tourism revenue, Rheinheimer said. Early estimates suggest that this year’s event will bring an additional $10 million to the local economy, she added.

Chris Gorence, general area manager of the Grand Beach and Sugar Beach on East Bay, host hotels for the event, said some 50 rooms have been dedicated to festival attendees and only a few are still available.

“Bookings are way ahead” of previous years, Gorence said, with many of those stays being a week or more. He added that some people have booked condominium units at the resorts for two- to three-week stays. “[The event] has had a really positive impact on this end of town.”

New this year is Team Elmer’s Grand Prix Ring, a state-of-the-art, amphitheatre-style competition ring. Also new is a Local Rider Competition Day, where riders and experts from the Grand Traverse region will participate in the event.
