• Shenandoah Downs Fall Harness Racing

  • Start
    19 Sep 2026
  • End
    1 Nov 2026
  • Location
    Shenandoah County Fair Grounds

  

  Shenandoah Downs kicks off its eleventh fall season of pari-mutuel harness racing this Saturday, September 19 and continues a seven-week campaign thru November 1 with cards every Saturday & Sunday at 1:05 PM. The track hosted a seven-week meet back in spring and most recently played host to a four-day non-wagering County Fair meet in the week leading up to Labor Day.  

  Two-year-old pacers and trotters of both sexes will take center stage on two different occasions during the meet. A four-pack of $100,000 Virginia Sire Stake divisional finals are scheduled on Saturday October 3 and a four-pack of Virginia Breeders divisional championships highlight closing weekend festivities on October 31. Prep races for each series will be contested the weekends of September 26/27 (Sire Stakes) and October 17/18 and 24/25 (Breeders) respectively.    

  Opening day will feature a tribute to John's Dream, the winningest harness horse ever at Shenandoah Downs. Foaled at owner/driver/trainer Chuck Perry's farm in Suffolk, Virginia, John's Dream competed twelve years --- 11 in Woodstock and one year at Oak Ridge in 2015 --- and reached the winners circle 36 times at Virginia tracks. Overall, the Dream Away gelding won 57 races and amassed $435,362 in earnings.  The first 500 fans 18 years of age & up will receive a free commemorative John's Dream long sleeved t-shirt.  

  Other key promotions include a tenth anniversary celebration on September 26, Shenandoah County's annual Autumnfest celebration on October 3, a "Pigskin & Ponies Own a Horse for a Day" event on October 10, the Wiener Dog Derby on October 11, baseball cap giveaway on October 17 and Pink Power Breast Cancer Awareness Day on October 24.

  Every Sunday, fans can enjoy $1 hot dogs and $2 canned beer and enter a free "Pick the Horses" handicapping contest with $250 in cash prizes. The winner of each Sunday's contest will take home the top prize of $125 and get a chance to "Own a Horse for a Day" November 1 and win their share of a $5,000 purse. The popular promotion is sponsored by the Virginia Harness Horse Association (VHHA).          

  Shenandoah Downs is located in the quaint town of Woodstock off I-81 at Exit 283 halfway between Harrisonburg and Winchester. Harness racing has been featured at the Shenandoah County Fairgrounds for 110 years.

  Additional season details are at shenandoahdowns.com. Trackmaster past performance programs and Derby Bill Watson's daily tip sheet are available free via the website.

This is a chance to witness it and taste the barbecue cooked the same way it was when George Washington and James Madison hosted barbecues when whole hogs were suspended over a pit dug in the ground filled with oak and hickory coals.

  Star in the Valley’s Eighth Annual Christmas Market returns for 2026 on Small Business Saturday, November 28, 2026. Kick off the holiday season with festive cheer, cozy winterdrinks, live entertainment, and a curated lineup of upscale vendors offering unique gifts from small businesses.

  The market begins at 11 AM and runs until 4 PM, featuring over two dozen local and regional vendors with handcrafted goods, specialty foods, and one-of-a-kind holiday finds. Throughout the day, the winery will be serving seasonal favorites like mulled wine, along with a special “Christmas in Europe” drink tour - a festive tasting experience inspired by traditional holiday beverages from European Christmas markets.

  After the market concludes, the celebration continues at the winery until 8 PM, with wine, warm drinks, music, and a relaxed holiday atmosphere perfect for gathering with friends and family.

  No tickets or reservations are required - just come ready to enjoy the season.
