Mohawk Racetrack will host its annual Fireworks & Family Fun Night – an evening that will feature lots of fantastic activities for the kids

, including face-painting, pony rides, a petting zoo, a craft corner, live music, and video games!

There is even a special $3.50 Kid's Meal that includes a hot dog, a bag of chips, a juice box and a glow necklace. Clowns, magicians, and a host of strolling entertainers will round out the festivities.

The Ontario Standardbred Adoption Society will be on hand as well, with one of its adoptable former racehorses for children (and adults) to meet, pat, and admire.

Don't forget that there will be an action-packed night of harness racing for Mom and Dad, featuring a $130,00 Ontario Sires Stakes Gold Final for three-year-old trotting fillies, as well as OSS Gold Series eliminations for three-year-old trotting colts and geldings. There will be a special post time of 6:30 p.m., with the final race heading postward at 9:10 p.m.

The fun-filled evening will conclude with a spectacular fireworks show, starting at approximately 9:30 p.m. After the fireworks, Mohawks guests can take advantage of a special free offer of a $2 show bet for the upcoming $1.5 million Pepsi North America Cup on June 27.

Doors open at 5:00 p.m., and as always, parking and admission are absolutely free!

We hope that you and your family will join us on Sunday, May 17 as we celebrate Victoria Day at Mohawk.
