Throws and signature keepsakes
Throws are the beads, cups, toys and keepsakes riders share with spectators. Muses riders decorate shoes, Cleopatra riders decorate cups or glasses, and Tucks riders decorate plungers and toilet brushes. Designs vary by year and rider. Enjoy what comes your way.
Plan your outing
- Bring a bag and leave space for the procession. Signature throws vary by rider and year.
- Enjoy what comes your way; a decorated shoe, cup or other keepsake is not guaranteed.
