Budweiser Clydesdales Coming to D.C. This Week -- Here's Where You Can See Them
The iconic horses first came to D.C. in 1933 to celebrate the end of prohibition.

Eighty-three years after their first public appearance here in D.C., Budweiser's famous Clydesdales will be touring Washington this week starting on Wednesday.
They'll be arriving to celebrate Anheuser-Busch's new partnership with the Washington Nationals, and will be on hand for Nats Opening Day, National Beer Day and a Washington Capitals home game, according to a statement.
The horses will first appear Wednesday evening at Cantina Marina, a southwest D.C. waterfront bar and grill. They'll also be at Duffy's Irish Pub on Vermont Avenue in Northwest for a Washington Nationals viewing party. The Nationals' Racing Presidents will join the horses for the event.
