The Cadillac Commonwealth Cup Polo Match and Auction & Gala for Goochland Fellowship & Family Service
Event Overview
The Commonwealth Cup Polo Match and the weekend kick-off Auction & Gala are the talk of the social calendar in Goochland County, VA each fall. The Friday evening Auction & Gala is held at an amazing Goochland property and raises close to $50,000 each year for the Goochland Fellowship & Family Service. On the following Sunday afternoon, South Ceres Farm plays host to the country’s oldest Polo Match. Hospitality tents, tailgates, one-of-a-kind vendors, wine and whiskey tastings, dog agility trials, divot stomping and carriage parades all provide for an unforgettable day in the country.
