In Newport, Rhode Island every three years in August, spectators gather to catch a glimpse of the horse-drawn carriages on Coaching Weekend. Carriages dating back 100 years or more are pulled by teams of four horses each.
Enthusiasts polish their carriages and bring their horse teams to gather for the spectacle. The riders sport their finest clothing of the period, along with matching hats and fascinators.
Well, most people wear clothing of the period.
