The world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales are headed to Savannah for a multi-day series of appearances and celebrations from June 4–6 in honor of Budweiser’s 150th anniversary. Savannah is one of the featured stops on the Budweiser Clydesdales’ cross-country tour celebrating 150 years of Budweiser and its 16-year partnership with Folds of Honor.
On Saturday, June 6, the Budweiser Clydesdales will arrive at Morrell Park at 10 a.m., where fans can watch the official hitching process — the tradition of preparing and harnessing the eight-horse team to the iconic Budweiser beer wagon. The hitching process offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at one of America’s most celebrated traditions. At 11 a.m., the Budweiser Clydesdales will parade along historic River Street. The parade will conclude at Plant Riverside around 12:30 p.m. with photo opportunities, followed by the public unhitching beginning at 1 p.m.
Each hitch horse stands approximately six feet tall at the shoulder, weighs an average of 2,000 pounds, and consumes up to 50 pounds of hay and 30 gallons of water daily. Every hitch also travels with a Dalmatian, honoring the historic brewery tradition of the dogs accompanying horse-drawn beer wagons.
Fans are encouraged to arrive early for all appearances. The River Street festivities are being hosted in partnership with Savannah’s Waterfront and Plant Riverside District as part of the citywide celebration.
