The museum said the event is free and family-friendly.

The Budweiser Clydesdales are well-known for their famous appearances, especially in Super Bowl commercials.

According to the museum’s website, the horses make hundreds of appearances across the country every year to serve as a symbol for the beer company.

The museum said the Clydesdales travel on the road with a team that prepares them for appearances.

The team includes handlers that oversee their care, expert groomers that travel with them at least 10 months out of the year and another team that oversees their diet.

Each hitch horse will eat about 20 to 25 quarts of whole grains, minerals and vitamins a day, along with 50 to 60 pounds of hay and up to 30 gallons of water.
