The excitement has been building all summer, and this Saturday, September 27, it all comes together at the Turkish Airlines Finals, the grand finale of the 2025 Newport International Polo Series. Since 2019, our high-flying friends at Turkish Airlines have been jet-setting one lucky Newport Polo fan straight to their dream destination with the annual Grand Prize Drawing at the Turkish Airlines Finals. This globetrotter’s gift celebrates our Series’ international flair, offering round-trip, business-class tickets for two to any far-flung locale Turkish Airlines touches down in—and no airline lands in more world-class spots! From five-star cuisine to award-winning Turkish hospitality, every mile is a moment to savor.

Each week throughout the season, fans have eagerly awaited the Door Prize drawing, where a lucky winner every Saturday walked away with a bottle of premium bubbly, courtesy of Veuve Clicquot Champagne. Now, those winners will return for one final chance of luck – to win the Turkish Airlines Grand Prize drawing – an electrifying moment that will crown the luckiest of them all.

The Finals door prize goes beyond bubbles. In addition to a celebratory bottle of Veuve Clicquot Champagne, the winner will also receive two complimentary tickets from Newport Classical to next Friday’s concert, a highlight of Newport Classical’s acclaimed Chamber Series. The performance touts violinist Blake Pouliot and pianist Henry Kramer in a dazzling program of Schumann and Dvořák at the intimate and acoustically superb Newport Classical Recital Hall. With 12 concerts on select Fridays from Autumn through June, Newport Classical continues its legacy of bringing world-class music to the City by the Sea, and this lucky winner will be at the very first one of the Series.

The energy will climax with 6-time Polo Series Presenting Sponsor Turkish Airlines in the house, with its US Northeast celebration in the TD Pavilion. Guests can look forward to a lively atmosphere of international flair and Turkish hospitality, as anticipation builds for the big moment when the past Door Prize winners gather for the drawing. Only one will be chosen, but the entire crowd will be on the edge of their seats, waiting to see who takes home the honor  and the prizes in this season’s most thrilling giveaway.

The Grand Prize drawing is just one highlight of an unforgettable day that also includes the season-ending polo showdown at 4PM, a packed Pavilion party, tailgates, food trucks, boutique shopping, and a spirited sendoff for the 2025 season before Newport Polo rides into its historic 150th Anniversary in 2026.It’s the perfect blend of sport, celebration, and community and with Turkish Airlines at the helm, the Finals promise to be a spectacular finish to an extraordinary season.

As Sir Winston Churchill profoundly analogized, “a polo handicap is a passport to the world.” And now Turkish Airlines has extended that courtesy to include our fans!
