Budweiser Clydesdales return to area as Gold Coast Eagle receives award
The feathered feet of the famed Budweiser Clydesdales once again will clip-clop their way through the area the next few days.
Thursday evening, the picture-perfect hitch will be parading through Lakewood Ranch. The Clydesdales will be on Main Street from 5 to 7 p.m., then continue down Lakewood Ranch Boulevard to the Gold Coast Eagle Distributing facility, where the award ceremony will take place.
Awards will be given out between 7:30 and 8 p.m.
On Friday, the horses can be seen on Main Street in downtown Sarasota from 5 to 7 p.m.
Those on Anna Maria Island will also get a chance to glimpse the horses as they walk down Bridge Street in Bradenton Beach from 5 to 7 p.m. on Saturday.
The Clydesdales’ appearance is part of the celebration for Gold Coast Eagle Distributing, which will receive the Ambassador of Excellence and the Big Jake awards.
There are only 23 other Anheuser-Busch distributors in the country with the accomplishment, according to the Gold Coast Eagle Distributing Facebook post.
