ORLEANS — The town of Orleans is preparing for a once-in-a-lifetime event this Wednesday afternoon. The world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales will make a special appearance at historic Congress Square. The eight majestic horses hitched to the iconic turn-of-the-century Budweiser beer wagon will parade around the town square in a spectacle that promises to delight residents and visitors alike.
As part of the festivities, town officials remind the public that Congress Square will be closed to vehicle traffic from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday. This brief closure will allow pedestrians to gather safely in the square to enjoy the show, take photos, and celebrate the historic occasion.
The Clydesdales’ visit is part of a special celebration marking the 75th anniversary of the Orange County Beverage Company, a local distributor. To commemorate the milestone, the company has arranged for the Clydesdales to visit Orleans as part of their nationwide tour. The famed horses, which have become a symbol of the Budweiser brand, have been a staple of American culture for decades, and their visit to Orleans is sure to be a highlight for the town.
The parade will feature the team of eight Clydesdales pulling the beautifully restored beer wagon, complete with the familiar Budweiser logo. Visitors will have the chance to see the Clydesdales up close, learn about the history of these remarkable horses, and enjoy the unique charm of Orleans’ historic downtown district.
Residents and visitors are encouraged to come early to grab a good spot in the square and enjoy the parade, which will run through the heart of the historic district. The event is free and open to the public, making it a perfect opportunity for families and friends to gather for a memorable afternoon.
