The dedication ceremony for the Sunday Silence mural, a new equine art installation celebrating the legendary racehorse, is set for Sunday, October 12, 2025, at 2 p.m. in downtown Paris, Kentucky.
The event is free and open to the public.
The mural, created by renowned equine artist Jaime Corum, depicts the 1989 Kentucky Derby winner in his iconic victory. The artwork is located on the side of the new Hotel Thoroughbred, set to open in the spring of 2026. The mural is a project of the Legends of Bourbon County non-profit organization, in conjunction with Stone Farm.
The dedication is part of the third annual Legends of Bourbon County festival, which will celebrate the legacy of Sunday Silence throughout the weekend. As part of the dedication, there is a day-long festival on Main Street in Paris that includes vendors and multiple musical acts.
The Sunday Silence mural joins other large-scale equine art in downtown Paris, including murals of Secretariat and Curlin, further establishing the town as a destination for horse racing and art enthusiasts.
