Want a selfie with a Clydesdale? You’ll have 3 local chances for St. Patrick’s Day

In 2016, hundreds packed Old Town Bluffton to see the Budweiser Clydesdales as part of the Old Town Dispensary’s sixth anniversary celebration.

Now more of the statuesque horses are on their way. And while they don’t have a Bud logo on their trailers, you’ve no doubt seen them before.

Express Clydesdales, based out of Oklahoma, is bringing their Clydesdales to Hilton Head on Sunday, March 12 as part of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The parade starts at 3 p.m.

Express Clydesdales have appeared in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the Tournament of Roses, the Chicago St. Patrick’s Day Parade, and they even chauffeured Prince William and Kate during a visit to Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Hilton Head won’t be their only stop in the area. You can also catch them in the Tybee Island, GA St. Patrick’s Day parade on Saturday, March 11 at 3 p.m. and the Savannah parade on Friday, March 17, beginning at 10 a.m.
