Ah, the Kentucky Derby. Horse races and delicious mint juleps.

Bourbon Steak’s Kentucky Derby Lawn Party

Inspired by “Millionaire’s Row” at Churchill Downs, Michael Mina’s Bourbon Steak is celebrating everything southern at this Kentucky Derby brunch and lawn party from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess. Listen to live blues music, partake in Bulleit Bourbon tastings and traditional southern fare as you watch the races from indoor and outdoor plasma screens. Show off your best hat or seersucker suit to a panel of judges for a chance to win prizes, and don’t miss a chance to test drive the latest models from BMW, courtesy of BMW at North Scottsdale. The event is $109 per person, plus tax and service charge. 7575 E. Princess Drive, Scottsdale, 480.585.2694
