Thrills at Strawberry Hill |

Richmonders flock to the Strawberry Hill Races each year. The tradition of tailgating and wagering has continued here for 68 years with throngs of people creating an almost Kentucky Derby-like atmosphere. This is not just a time to watch thoroughbreds compete, but to have a giant party as well. A week of events includes a mounted squad ride through Shockoe Bottom and a casino night. Live and silent auctions precede the festival. Colonial Downs is about 20 minutes from Richmond. Take I-64 east to Exit 214. Review © 2007, Wcities |
