The horses are training, the food trucks are rolling in, and the band is ready to rock, as the Fort Erie Race Track gets set to open the gate for its 126th season of live racing on May 23.

“For opening day we’ve got a ton of awesome entertainment for race fans, families, and everyone in between,” said James Culic, the track’s marketing manager. “Not only do we have a full card of exciting horse races, but we’ll have a great selection of food trucks here to fill people’s bellies, and a wicked band ready to hit the stage as soon as the last horse crosses the finish line.”

Voted Niagara’s favourite party band, The Figure Four, will hit the stage around 7:30 p.m. once live racing is finished, to kick off the first of seven free concerts being hosted at the track this season.
