Start your weekend early at Belmont Park. Twilight Thursdays feature a 3:05 p.m. first post time, music from Unforgettable Fire in the backyard starting at 4:30 p.m. and low roller contests. Plus, enjoy food and drink specials all day including $2 hot dogs, $3 12 oz draft beers, $3 sodas and $3 pretzels. 

Unforgettable Fire
Enjoy live music after the races from Unforgettable Fire, the U2 tribute band. Unforgettable Fire, or "UF", was born on New Years Day in 1995 as one of the very first U2 tribute bands to ever perform in America. After twenty-four years of playing in some of the most prestigious venues on the East Coast, UF has formed a reputation among many to be one of the closest experiences to being at an actual live U2 show. The members of UF are also very dedicated fans of U2, and will not settle for anything less than complete authenticity. In addition to performing a very impressive array of U2 material from pre-Boy to the most recent Songs of Experience and beyond, the band does everything in their power (from wardrobe to lighting) to recreate the live U2 concert setting for their audiences.
