On April 22, 2017, more than 15,000 individuals are expected to be at Kingston Downs for the running of the 52nd Annual Atlanta Steeplechase.

The event is held annually at the beautiful 435-acre Kingston Downs complex. To ensure maximum attendance and enjoyment, the event offers a wide range of spectator categories. Steeplechase patrons enjoy the circuit’s best horses and jockeys showcased in five premier races throughout the afternoon. The gates will open at 9 AM and races will begin at 1:30 PM. The daylong event is filled with thrilling horse races, The Von Maur hat contests, tent contests, a foxhound parade, skydivers, The Publix Supermarkets Kidz Coral, terrier races, shopping, people watching, and so much more. From the party place, the Infield, to the corporate exclusive Chairman’s Tent, the Atlanta Steeplechase offers something for everyone.
