The “Art” of Social Distancing

While practicing social distancing and staying at home, Aiken gets creative to keep everyone entertained. For a list of things to do, read our blog here.

Aiken Virtual Steeplechase

The Aiken Virtual Steeplechase carries on the traditions of Aiken’s premier equestrian event. On May 2, 2020, traditions continue – horses (in this case, stick horses), bow ties, crazy pants, ladies’ hats – while creating new traditions, such as “home-gating.” From the comfort and safety of your home, you’ll be able to upload videos, enter contests, share on social media, win prizes and support local charities. For a full list of activities or to reserve your stick horse, click here.
