ORLEANS – Orleans Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Robert Henderson announced that the iconic Budweiser Clydesdales would make a special appearance in historic downtown Orleans on Wednesday, November 13th, as part of Orange County Beverage Company’s 75th-anniversary celebration.
The majestic eight-horse hitch, paired with their famous turn-of-the-century beer wagon, will be available for public viewing and photos at Congress Square from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. Residents and visitors must bring their cameras to capture this unique opportunity.
“This is a special occasion for our historic downtown,” Henderson said. The event marks a rare opportunity for residents to see the world-renowned horses up close in their small town setting.
The Orleans visit is part of a broader regional tour, with the Clydesdales also scheduled to appear in nearby Salem and French Lick. The tour coincides with Orange County Beverage Company’s milestone 75th anniversary celebration.
These gentle giants, known for their distinctive appearance and white feathered legs, have been a symbol of Budweiser since 1933, making them one of America’s most recognizable corporate mascots.
The free public event will take place in Orleans’ historic Congress Square, offering an afternoon of photo opportunities with these magnificent horses against the town’s historic architecture.
