The Dream Ride Experience is the signature fundraising event of The Hometown Foundation, Inc. held at the Farmington Polo Club in Farmington, CT.
(503)

The event celebrates our Dream Riders, who are individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities. After twenty-one years and over $18 million in fundraising, The Hometown Foundation, Inc. is heading into the 22nd Annual Dream Ride Experience! Over the years, The Dream Ride Experience has evolved into a year-long community commitment to celebrate the achievements of our Dream Riders, the true heart and soul of our event. Our Dream Riders are individuals with intellectual or developmental disabilities from over 25 different states and five countries. This 3-day weekend event and year-round movement highlights their determination and willingness to persevere, overcome challenges, and shatter stereotypes. The Dream Ride Experience advocates for inclusion and building friendships amongst not only the Dream Riders, but also with the participants and attendees. We look forward to seeing many familiar faces this year, and are excited to welcome newcomers to this monumental movement. Join us for The Dream Ride Experience, a three day weekend full of fun, food, music, motorcycles, exotic and classic cars, inspiration, and more!
