Saddle up for one of the biggest Nashville happenings of the year

Posted by Dane on May 7th, 2008

Hey, just because Amazing April is over doesn’t mean there’s nothing to do in town these days. We’re actually getting into maybe my favorite time of the year. May is just downright beautiful around here.

And it’s also time for the Iroquois Steeplechase! My family has been going ever since I was a kid. I have so many great memories, mostly of the tailgating party, which is always a blast. If you can find a spot.

But there’s other events too, such as the Hunt Ball and the Giddy-Up Gala, which are probably two of the biggest social events of the year for Nashville. They’re huge traditions, and give Nashvillians a chance to show off.

Race day is May 10 out at Percy Warner Park, and the event benefits Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital. Ladies, bring your biggest, wackiest hat if you want to fit in.

Later,
Dane
