Arcadia Officially Joins LA28 Olympic Games, Set to Host Equestrian Events

The road to the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games now officially runs through Arcadia.

 

This week, the Arcadia City Council approved a critical Venue City Games Agreement, cementing its role in the global event.

 

The agreement formally designates the city as a host partner with the LA28 Organizing Committee.

 

This is a thrilling moment for the entire San Gabriel Valley, bringing international attention directly to our community.

 

At the heart of the partnership is the legendary Santa Anita Park, which will stage all the equestrian events for the games.

 

The iconic venue previously hosted equestrian competitions during the 1984 Olympics, creating a powerful sense of legacy.

 

But the 2028 games will mark a significant first.

 

For the first time ever, Arcadia will also host the Paralympic Games' para equestrian events, a major win for inclusivity.

 

City leaders celebrated the move as a chance to showcase Arcadia's deep equestrian history and diverse community on the world stage.

 

The partnership highlights a core strategy of LA28: using existing world-class facilities to create a sustainable and impactful experience.

 

This is more than just an event; it's an opportunity to build a lasting legacy for the region.
