If you’re looking to step up your Kentucky Derby game, I suggest you consider the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess’s 6th annual Kentucky Derby Lawn Party taking place this Saturday from 1-4:30PM. Get ready to turn up the southern charm while sipping mint juleps at Michael Mina’s Bourbon Steak. I can speak from personal experience of attending the party last year- this is one of the most glamourous fetes in town and let’s be honest, not many people here are watching the horse racing. Instead, guests are partaking in lawn games, bourbon tastings, a photo booth, and dining on a delicious southern hospitality buffet. The food at Bourbon Steak is as charming as the people watching featuring official hot browns, Benedictine dip, shrimp toasts, fried chicken, and an impressive dessert display. Of course there will be a hat and fashion contest with prizes so be sure to dress to impress. Stay tuned for my Kentucky Derby fashion inspiration later this week. Reservations for the lawn party can be made by calling 480-585-2694 and tickets are $109 per person.
