Tryon International Equestrian Center – Year-round Food, Fun & More to Come

Tryon International Equestrian Center – Premier Equestrian Destination

Posted: June 9, 2018 | Last Modified: May 11, 2021 - Lisa

Tryon International Equestrian Center (TIEC) at Tryon Resort is one of the world’s premier equestrian lifestyle destinations. And, with on-site shops, dining, entertainment, and plans for more, non-equestrian visitors are equally marveled by the Tryon Resort experience. This world-class facility opened in June 2014 with sanctioned horse shows and initial supporting amenities including 10 riding arenas, 850 permanent stalls, a covered riding facility, and fitness center.

Saturday Night Lights

From carnival-style entertainment to Carolina-inspired festivals, TIEC is western North Carolina’s hub for premier family-friendly entertainment. On Grand Prix competition nights, attendees can enjoy TIEC’s “Saturday Night Lights” featuring free activities like face painting, airbrush tattoos, busker performances, live bands, and rides on a hand-painted Venetian carousel. In addition to the on-site restaurants, “Saturday Night Lights” attendees can buy carnival treats from vendor carts like lemonade, popcorn, cotton candy, wood-fired pizza, and roasted corn. And, TIEC admission and parking area free. Live Music at TIEC Saturday Night Lights

Restaurants & Dining

Food and restaurant options are as varied and bountiful at TIEC as the entertainment. Choose between Roger’s Diner, a 50’s-inspired diner serving up burgers, shakes, salads, breakfast all day and more. Or, Legends Grille providing a first-class dining experience without the hassle of a strict dress code. Dishes are prepared using the freshest ingredients and presented with casual elegance.Rogers Diner at TIEC

Offsite dining is available at the Lodge on Lake Lure’s Tree Tops Restaurant. All restaurants are open year-round.
