The New York Racing Association (NYRA) and Stewart's Shops have teamed up to rebrand a popular ice cream flavor in anticipation of the upcoming Belmont Stakes Racing Festival. The new flavor, "The Bel-Mint Stakes," features green mint ice cream with a chocolate crumble swirl. This rebranding comes as excitement builds for the festival, which will take place from June 4 through June 8 at the Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs, New York.
Tickets for the festival are currently available, offering a variety of options for attendees. General Admission tickets provide standing room access to the Clubhouse, Grandstand, and Backyard areas. Attendees can bring personal coolers with food and non-alcoholic beverages, with outside alcohol permitted on Wednesday (June 4) and Sunday (June 8). For those seeking a more luxurious experience, the festival offers VIP packages with exclusive access to hospitality areas and fine dining.
The Belmont Stakes Racing Festival is a highlight of the horse racing calendar, drawing fans from across the nation. As noted by the NYRA, the event promises refined hospitality and some of the best balcony views in racing. The festival will also feature the inaugural July 4th Racing Festival, which can be added to the Belmont Stakes Festival Pass for an additional fee.
