Highlighted by the 149th running of the Grade 1, $1.5 million Belmont Stakes, the three-day event will begin on Thursday, June 8, 2017, and conclude on Saturday, June 10, 2017. Featuring world-class racing coupled with premium hospitality and entertainment, the Festival has quickly become a popular kick-off event to the summer season in New York.

Limited reservations remain available in Belmont Park's premium dining areas, including the Garden Terrace, Marquee Tent, Turf & Field Club and Champagne Room. Fans interested in attending are urged to purchase their tickets now through BelmontStakes.com to avoid being shut out of New York's signature racing festival.  

The second must-see event of the Belmont spring/summer meet will be the return of the popular Stars & Stripes Festival on Saturday, July 8. Launched in 2014, the internationally themed day will once again feature a pair of prestigious Grade 1 races on the turf for 3-year-olds in the $1.2 million Belmont Derby Invitational and the $1 million Belmont Oaks Invitational for fillies, both at 1 ¼ miles.
