Welcome to Tracen

The portal opens on Tracen Academy's summer festival, and everyone is enrolled for the day. Join IRIS Interactive for a free immersive Umamusume: Pretty Derby event: live Umas in character, races and idol performances on the main stage, crafts, games, festival food, and a mystery to solve before the last race is called. Come as an Uma, come as a Trainer, or come to watch. The gates are open from noon to seven.
