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.
