Some call it the “fastest two minutes in sports”, we call it the “most fashionable two minutes in sports”. On Saturday, May 4 the biggest, best, most boujee Kentucky Derby Lawn Party returns to Michael Mina’s Bourbon Steak at Fairmont Scottsdale Princess from 1p – 4:30p.
The Valley’s favorite annual fete will feature the 145th Run for the Roses on plasma screens both indoors and out, live DJ, festive food, Derby-inspired drinks, a photo booth, lawn games and of course the most dashing Derby attire. Southern belles are encouraged to wear their fanciest ‘fits and most extra hats to compete for some super fab prizes.
