This Labor Day, Give Yourself Something to Look Forward To
Labor Day is the unofficial reward for making it through another busy summer. It’s a long weekend made for putting the to-do list away, getting together with your favorite people and enjoying a little well-earned fun. And while you’re enjoying the break, why not give yourself something else to look forward to this fall?
On November 15, trade the workweek for a day at the racetrack filled with horse racing, tailgating, great food, fall fashion and plenty of time with family and friends. Whether your perfect race day means setting up the ultimate tailgate, bringing the kids for a day of family fun or treating yourself to the VIP experience, you’ve earned it.
You’ve Earned Time With Friends

When was the last time you got the whole group together for an entire day?
Steeplechase gives you the perfect excuse. Round up your friends, pour a drink, cheer on the horses and spend the day catching up and having fun together.
And let’s talk about the pictures. You didn’t buy that new dress, hat or bow tie just to leave your phone in your bag. Between the fall fashion, tailgate setups and beautiful racetrack, there are social-media-worthy moments everywhere. Get the group shot, take the selfie and give everyone who stayed home a little race day FOMO.
You’ve Earned a Family Day
The kids work hard, too! Steeplechase is a day the whole family can enjoy, and children 12 and under receive free General Admission.
Between the excitement on the racetrack, the Family Fun Zone and the always entertaining Corgi Cup, there’s plenty to keep younger racegoers busy. It’s a chance to put down the screens, get outside and, as the kids are saying, “touch grass” for a while.
Bring the grandparents, cousins and the rest of the crew and enjoy a fall day together. And while everyone is dressed in their race day best, take advantage of it! You may just get that Christmas card photo checked off the list, too.
You’ve Earned the Tailgate
Some of the best moments at Steeplechase happen before, between and after the races. Grab your friends, pack your favorite food and drinks, and make your tailgate your home base for the day.
Want a space of your own? A Tailgate Package gives you a dedicated spot to gather with your crew, watch the action and enjoy one of Steeplechase’s favorite traditions. Dress it up, keep it simple or go all out—you’ve worked hard, so tailgate your way.
You’ve Earned the Upgrade
If you’re going to reward yourself, why not upgrade the whole day?
The Lexus VIP Lounge takes race day up a notch from start to finish. Reserve a table for six or eight and bring the whole family or your favorite group of friends. Enjoy high-end food and drinks throughout the day, great views of the racing action, plenty of photo opportunities and private restrooms.
Your table is waiting, the food and drinks are handled, and all you have to do is show up, look good and enjoy the races.
You worked hard. Upgrade everything.
And We Love the Labor That Makes It Happen
There’s plenty of work happening long before race day. Our team, partners, HOA and residents all play a part in preparing for Steeplechase and keeping the racetrack ready for one of Charleston’s favorite fall traditions.
And for us, it’s a labor of love.
We love the labor that goes into creating a day that brings so much fun and joy to Charleston. Seeing families return year after year, friends gather around their tailgates, kids cheer on the corgis and thousands of racegoers enjoy a Charleston tradition makes every bit of that work worth it.
So this Labor Day, enjoy your well-earned break—and give yourself something else to look forward to.
You work hard. You’ve earned a day at the races.
The Steeplechase of Charleston returns November 15. Get your tickets, reserve your tailgate or upgrade to VIP and start planning your race day.
