Spend a day at the races in true Southern style! Though Camden is a beautiful town full of antiques shops and historic sites, the town is actually all about thoroughbred horses. At Springdale Race Course on the outskirts of town, two of the most important steeplechases are held—the Carolina Cup in the spring and the prestigious Colonial Cup in the fall. More than 60,000 people typically show up for these high-society social events, and in a state where no pari-mutuel betting is allowed, this is quite impressive. And when the suggested attire is sport coat and ties for men, and dresses and hats for women, you know you’re in for a treat! Races are run rain or shine, so don’t miss the opportunity to take part in this exciting Southern tradition.
