Traverse City Horse Shows Opens 2026 Charity Ticket Applications for Nonprofits

Traverse City Horse Shows announced on February 17, 2026, that it has opened applications for the 2026 Charity Ticket Program, a yearlong initiative run by TCHS to support Northern Michigan nonprofit organizations. The announcement names Flintfields Horse Park in Traverse City as the site of the summer-long equestrian series where tickets would be made available through the program.

The Charity Ticket Program is administered by Traverse City Horse Shows, the organization that stages the summer-long equestrian series at Flintfields Horse Park. TCHS framed the program as aimed at supporting nonprofit organizations across Northern Michigan, providing an opportunity for charities to connect with community members at events hosted at Flintfields.

Flintfields Horse Park, located in Grand Traverse County, is the venue tied to the 2026 summer series referenced in the announcement. Traverse City Horse Shows operates the series at Flintfields, and the Feb. 17 opening of applications is the first public step toward allocating charity tickets for the upcoming season at that venue.

Nonprofit organizations in Northern Michigan are the stated focus of the program; the announcement from TCHS invites those groups to apply for access to tickets connected to the Traverse City summer events at Flintfields Horse Park. Because the program is run directly by Traverse City Horse Shows, local charities will engage with TCHS staff and administrators to submit applications and coordinate ticket use for community outreach, volunteer recognition, or client engagement tied to the 2026 events.

For Grand Traverse County institutions and service groups that rely on partnerships and donated access to local events, the opening of these applications by Traverse City Horse Shows on Feb. 17 creates a concrete avenue to participate in the Flintfields summer series. The program adds a layer to how Flintfields Horse Park and TCHS contribute to the region’s cultural and nonprofit landscape, by allocating tickets specifically to Northern Michigan nonprofit organizations for the 2026 season.
