From January 23 to 25, 2026, don’t miss the Prix d’Amérique Festival at the Hippodrome Paris-Vincennes, a one-of-a-kind event blending thrilling sports, live concerts, and festive activities. This special edition features GIMS performing live on stage, Yann Muller spinning the decks, the world’s top harness racing events, as well as equestrian shows, food courts, kids’ entertainment, and an electrifying atmosphere for the whole family. An open-air festival that breaks the mold of traditional horse racing and promises three exciting days just a stone’s throw from Paris!
The Prix d’Amérique Festival is set to take place on January 23, 24, and 25, 2026, turning the Paris-Vincennes Racecourse into a giant arena that combines top-tier sports, music, and spectacular entertainment!
On Saturdays, the festivities kick off right at midday. Thrilling races, a lively US-inspired atmosphere, street food, and DJ sets led by Yann Muller keep the energy high and the excitement soaring.
Between races, the racetrack turns into a dancefloor, and the stands are already pulsing with energy.
Sunday is all about the big, unforgettable moments. GIMS kicks off the excitement with a spectacular performance before the main event: the Prix d’Amérique Legend Race, the world’s premier trot racing championship. Covering 2,700 meters, with a jackpot of one million euros, and just three minutes of pure adrenaline inside the trotting arena. And of course, the unbeatable atmosphere that makes this day so special!
Three days of intense energy at Paris-Vincennes. A weekend where everything speeds up and reaches new heights.
One piece of advice: don’t wait too long. Moments like this aren’t meant to be observed — they’re meant to be experienced!
