Northville Downs prepares for its 80th season

Northville Downs, which opened in 1944, will be celebrating its 80th anniversary of operations in 2024 and will race 10 days from January 5, 2024, through and including February 3, 2024, with harness racing to be conducted every Friday and Saturday during this time frame with a first race post time each race night of 7pm.

Full card simulcasting from the best harness and thoroughbred tracks across the country will continue to be available seven days and nights each week from noon to midnight. Northville Downs will continue to offer their ever-popular dollar night at The Ville during each Friday live race night with $1 pop, live programs and popcorn, $2 hot dogs and beer and hamburger and cheeseburger specials.

As we kickoff our final racing season at The Ville, all employees, horsemen and women and any fans and patrons who enjoyed their last trip to Northville are welcome back to enjoy themselves for one final time as we say goodbye to Michigan’s pioneer harness racetrack in its 80th and final year. Be sure to check our website for updates throughout 2024.
