These appearances are among the hundreds made annually by the traveling hitches, which have their origins dating back to the mid-1800s when Canadians of Scottish descent introduced the first Clydesdales to America.

Who: The world-famous Budweiser Clydesdales will be marvelously harnessed and hitched to the iconic red beer wagon, complete with the signature Dalmatian coach dog.
