PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The Budweiser Clydesdales are taking off on a cross-country tour, and their first stop is right here in Philadelphia.
You can check out the iconic Clydesdale horses as they parade down Citizens Bank Way from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m. before Wednesday night's Philadelphia Phillies game.
Penn Beer, a wholesaler based in Hatfield, Pennsylvania, will hold a raffle at the game with funds raised going toward Folds of Honor.
Tuesday night isn't the only stop the Clydesdales are making in the Philadelphia region. Here's what you should know about Clydesdale horses and the rest of their Philly-area tour schedule.
A corporate symbol of Budweiser beer, Clydesdales are often seen hitched together in an even number while pulling the red Budweiser wagon. Clydesdales are native to Scotland and named for the Clyde Valley and the River Clyde.
"The wagon and horses combined weight is about 12 tons and they are truly a sight to be seen. The team is on the road 300 days a year and we salute these gentle giants and the outstanding crew that takes care of them," the Devon Horse Show says on its site.
