Lahore Horse & Cattle Show 2027

Tent pegging, mounted archery, and a livestock parade — Punjab's biggest festival of horsemanship.

Lahore Horse & Cattle Show 2027 — Lahore, Punjab, Pakistan

The Horse and Cattle Show is Lahore's grand annual display of Punjab's equestrian culture — tent pegging (lance-and-target riding at full gallop), mounted archery, and in some years buzkashi and polo, drawing international teams alongside Pakistani riders.

It runs alongside a livestock parade with camels trained to dance to drumbeats, provincial cultural nights representing each region of Pakistan, a flower exhibition, and a citywide float parade down Lahore's main boulevards.

Exact dates and the specific competition lineup shift year to year — this is a genuinely dynamic, still-evolving event, which is part of what makes it interesting to attend rather than a fixed, packaged spectacle.
