Equip Announces Three Nights Of Entertainment
Equip Expo has announced its 2026 entertainment line-up of three nights of back-to-back concerts, receptions and parties, including a new Thursday evening block party at Louisville’s Paristown Point. All entertainment offerings are included with an Equip Expo registration.
The show kicks off Tuesday, October 20 with a Welcome Reception at Louisville’s Churchill Downs at the First Turn Club, sponsored by Caterpillar, Inc. Hear the iconic “Call to the Post” from the Kentucky Derby bugler. Enjoy homestyle buffets, take in views of the storied race track, and play a few rounds of corn hole.
Wednesday attendees can jam with peers at the Fourth Street Live! Concert downtown. Sponsored by the Propane Education & Research Council (PERC), the concert will feature attendee favorite, The Crashers, and is just steps away from area restaurants.
On Thursday evening is the Paristown Block Party, sponsored by Gravely. Show attendees will take over Old Forester’s Paristown Hall and the surrounding block for this new Equip event. The party will include great music from Kentuckiana’s popular all-genre cover band, the Juicebox Heroes, feature local food, and offer an exclusive tasting of the official show bourbon.
Attendees can register for the early bird price of only $30 through September 10, 2026. Visit www.equipexposition.com.
