Host a Tailgate Party!
Be part of the Genesee Valley Hunt Races on October 8, 2022
One of the best ways to celebrate a fine Fall day at the races is with a tailgate picnic. Invite your family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, hobby group, volunteer organization, church group, school class!
Lay out a picnic spread in the back of your SUV, mini-cooper, pick-up – any vehicle works, or even bring a table. Whether your style is grand — linen tablecloths, silver chafing dishes and crystal goblets – or rustic – chips and PB&J – create a personalized tailgate experience that you and your guests will enjoy!
Recipe for hosting a Tailgate Party
- Reserve an infield or outfield parking spot (ranging from $150 to $350)
- Pack your vehicle to the legal limit with passengers and goodies
- Additional guests purchase General Admissions tickets ($15 pre-purchase at gvhraces.com or Bank of Castile) and join you at your parking space
- Eat, Drink, Be Merry!
