The Cup is the social event of the season – and definitely not to be missed! You don’t have to be a “horse person” to enjoy all the Charleston Cup has to offer. The race weekend kicks off on Friday with the elegant black-tie Race Ball. Live music, fabulous food and a special race preview combine to make this gala party an essential element in the total Cup experience.
Sunday morning, the real excitement begins as the nation's top riders, trainers, and owners prepare to compete for purses totaling $60,000. Over 16,000 spectators will enjoy a full day at the races with exciting steeplechase and flat races.
The gates open at 9:00 a.m., and attendees arrive early with their picnic baskets packed with everything from champagne and caviar to fried chicken and cold beer. A vendor village and tailgating are in full swing by the time the paddock call rolls around at 12:00 noon.
