Presented By:  Miller Lite

Brought to you By:  PhillyTrips.com, Wired 96.5, and Mr Greengenes!

 

Join us as we head to the 136th running of the Preakness Stakes on our 7th Annual Preakness horse race trip to Baltimore - brought to you by PhillyTrips.com.  This year, the Philly favorite Mr. Greengenes is performing LIVE on the Jagermeister center stage along with other major concert national acts (see the list below)!  It's going to be a great day for sure!

In the past, a great time had been by all travelers on this trip - located a short distance away just outside of Baltimore.  This year, we have already reserved 4 buses and are expecting this to be yet again another amazing trip.  If you have been to or heard of Preakness before, the day has changed quite a bit - it's basiclly a large, safe outdoor concert now.  See below for more information (yes, all the changes were for the better!)

This trip is the perfect "get out of Philly" day trip.  If you are alone or have a group of 20 people (or more), everyone will have a blast.  Over the past few years, over 750 people have come on this trip with us from the Philly/South Jersey area - join the numbers this year....

Have a group of people you do (or have done) your own bus trip to Preakness with?  Would you like us to do all the work booking buses, getting tickets, etc and you can go for free?  We thought so.  If you would like more information, please email us by clicking "Contact Us" at the bottom of this page.

One of the best aspects of this and other PhillyTrips.com trips is that we create an atmosphere that tries to keep the group together so that you are sure to meet some great, new people on this trip (although you are always free to do what you'd like).  This creates a fun time for all!

About This Trip & The Preakness:

It all starts on Saturday morning when we leave to go to the Preakness Stakes from Philly.  If you have never been to or even heard of this event, it is a VERY FUN DAY (Details - www.Preakness.com).  All day, we will hang out at the racetrack infield and see the races while relaxing in the sun on blankets.  There are multiple live bands - including major national acts and the Philadelphia Favorite, Mr. Greengenes all day long.

In the past, you could bring coolers of beer in to the event.  To make the event safer and better, alcohol is not allowed to be brought in to in the infield anymore.  Instead, our tickets INCLUDE open beer gardens all day :)  Relax in the sun, beverage in hand.  A great pre-shore getaway for your shore house OR just a "Get out of Philly" day trip.  If you do not know, the infield has food, entertainment, drinks, big-screen TVs to watch the race, and a VERY EXCITING atmosphere.  Check out their website for all the details.  Spots are VERY LIMITED and at this price will sell out (the Mug Club ticket alone is $60!).  Please sign up for this trip ASAP to be sure you can get one.

After the Preakness race is over, you will board the buses and head on back to Philly. You can expect this to be around 7 or 8pm.

Small coolers for food are welcome on this trip and can be brought in to the Infield.  We will be supplying some beer for the bus, there is no need to bring any beer since you cannot take it in to the infield anymore.  Click Here for what you can and cannot bring into the Infield.  This is important as they WILL take and throw out items from you that cannot be brought in.  Just look on that page so this does not happen to you.

 


Pick-Up/Drop-Off Location:

Our buses will be picking up at Champps - 2100 S Columbus Blvd, Philadelphia, PA 19148 (Delaware Ave by Ikea across from Home Depot).  We will have approval to park here for the day - please look for our buses and be sure to get one of our parking notes to put in your car.
