Is this the last Polo Noir event?

YES!

After 9 incredible seasons of Polo at Hidden Creek, we will be hosting the fourth and final event on July 27th. Our gracious host, Sean Keys, the owner of the Hidden Creek property, will be going in to have a 2nd hip replacement this Spring. He will be retiring from the sport of Polo to focus on long term health and his family. The property will be changing hands late this Summer and moving away from equestrian sports. 

We are all committed to one thing…One. Final. Amazing. POLO NOIR. 

This will be a celebration like no other. If you have not been before, this is your chance! The city and state has seen nothing like this before and never will again.

How many polo matches will there be?

Two. There will be 3 hours of Polo with a divot stomp included.

I have never been to a polo match. what can I expect?

Incredible action. One of the world’s oldest games is also one of the fastest. Balls can travel up to 110 mph. Horses gallop and cut at 30 mph. Player and horse work in partnership to get a ball through a goal, while using every possible strategy to prevent the opposing side from doing so. What happens on that quest is both brutish and beautiful.

What are the rules of Polo?

Please refer to the Rules of the Game on the site. There will be Host / Emcee calling the Polo matches in real time so you can learn as you watch.

What is the champagne / wine divot stomp?

A highlight of the day! Guests can take the field during the second and final Polo match to help repair the field by flipping over the divots. Professionals will deal with the horse droppings.  

Who is the band?

The band will be announced in the coming weeks! The ticket price will increase to General Admission upon announcement.

No, unfortunately not. There will be amazing food & drink options on site for purchase. 

Is food and Drink included with ticket?

No, food and drinks are available for purchase from the onsite food and drink stations.

Is there a public transportation option?

Unfortunately not. Depending on where you come from, it is a 5-20 minute drive from Portland. We recommend a car sharing service or carpooling.

Is this event rain or shine?

Yes. The event will happen rain or shine. The wine, food and live music will still take place. However, if the fields are too wet, the Polo will not happen. We cannot risk the safety of the horses. 

Will there be seating?

Can I bring my lawn chair or blanket for the music component of the day?

Yes, please do. You are welcome to put your chair or blanket on the Polo field to watch the music. We ask you to store them in your car until the music begins, as we do not have a coat check on site or storage capability.
