Iroquois Steeplechase is a Nashville tradition and rite of spring. Nearly 25,000 gather at Percy Warner Park to dress up, enjoy good food and drink, and watch world-class horse racing.
This year's event is coming up in about two weeks on May 11. There are tickets available to suit any kind of Steeplechase you could want.
Steeplechase is a premier event among the slate of races on the National Steeplechase Association circuit. It has one of the largest purses in the circuit and attracts the world's top riders, trainers, and horses.
But it's also a huge party. There are contests for fashion and the best tailgate. There's a stick horse race for kids and a huge kids area with inflatables, balloons, and more.
Steeplechase is also a fundraiser. Since 1981, the event has raised more than $11 million for the Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital at Vanderbilt.
If you can't make Steeplechase this year, get dressed up, grab a cocktail, and join in on the fun with the official livestream on YouTube.
Music this week is "Prairie Land," by Jack Settle. He won the Tennessee Songwriters Association showcase at Portland earlier this year. Check him out on all his online channels here. Good luck, Jack!
