A Miracle on West Street, the Budweiser Clydesdale horses

The Budweiser Clydesdale horses returned to historic Annapolis yesterday. It's a popular Holiday tradition before the annual military bowl that draws quite the crowd.

For all who are not familiar with my home state, Annapolis is our state capital and home to the Naval Academy. It was also the temporary capital of the United States when the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783.

Wit its rich history, you can possibly imagine how charming downtown is with quaint shops lined along Main Street down to Ego Alley, and very special Real Estate. It is the perfect backdrop to host the Budweiser Clydesdale horses! 

This year, they returned to the original route along West Street and around Church Circle. My child and I somehow lucked out with our spot, it was pretty awesome seeing them up close!

The Budweiser Clydesdales were followed by the Annapolis Corgi club - quite the juxtaposition!

The only thing missing? Snow. Gentle-falling snow would have made this experience perfect. Maybe next year!

What a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday season, Andrea! The Budweiser Clydesdales are such a special tradition, and your description of Annapolis makes it feel even more magical. Here's to hoping next year brings that perfect snowfall!

Thank you, Dennis Neal! It was super special. There were also food trucks and activities for kids. But the Clydesdales were the stars of the show, no doubt!

Loved your post a hundred years ago, when I was a Security Manager after leaving the US Army.... one of my accounts was the Budweiser Plan in New Hampshire and we were responsible for guarding the Clydesdales go figure:)Endre

How beautiful! I would have loved to have been there - I love the clop, clop, clop of their hooves too! :-)

Horses are amazing creatures and I have always enjoyed the way the Clydesdale horses look.

Hello Andrea - admittedly, I rarely "miss" snow.  However, I have seen Annapolis Maryland and remember it fondly.

I was missing snow that day, Michael Jacobs, but no more! This is clearly a case of being careful what you wish for! We are on snow day #3. It was fun the first day but I am over it now lol

Hello Andrea.  The Clydesdale horses draw attention no matter the venue.  Add small town charm and it must have been quite special.  m

I've only seen them once in person, but they are majestic and I always like the commercials with them.
