This year, the Gay Polo League (GPL) will be celebrating the 15th year of its annual marquee event, the International Gay Polo Tournament, in Wellington, Florida. While historically the tournament has always been held in early April, the 2025 event is slated for the end of the month, from April 24-26. For a second consecutive year, Patagones Polo Club (Wellington, Florida) will host the matches and ancillary events. The club offers an elegant backdrop not only for the tournament on Saturday, but the parties that precede it.
LGBTQ+ polo players from around the world will compete on Patagones’ field, while spectators will be treated to the annual tailgate competition, with a wealth of inventive installations, live entertainment, delicious food and decadent cocktails. As always, the evening of Friday, April 25, GPL Polotini presents WIGSTOCK! party will give revelers the opportunity to dress up in their ensembles and outré wigs.
While the action on and off the field promises to be fast and furious, the Gay Polo League is a 501(c)3 charitable organization. In addition to promoting diversity and inclusivity in the sport, the GPL has also raised more than $357,800 since 2018 in support of LGBTQ charitable organizations.
“Celebrating 15 years of the GPL event is an important happening for the league. The magnitude of this milestone propels us to create and produce the best GPL experience so far, by far. We look forward to bringing people together, enjoying the best of us and elevating awareness of the LGBTQ+ community,” said Chip McKenny, GPL Founder.
