As American Pharoah, a gentle horse who does not like big crowds, glided over the finish line and ranked first in the Kentucky Derby people stared in awe. Now we’re all waiting to see if this formidable contender will win the Preakness Stakes on Saturday, May 16.
If you’re able to go to Preakness, that’s great. However, if you’re like me and can’t afford the time to actually go to the event, you can still have a blast on Saturday at Philly’s annual Preakness at the Piazza.
Preakness at the Piazza, which will take place on Saturday, May 16 at the Piazza at Schmidt’s in Northern Liberties from 5:00 to 9:30 p.m., is an event you won’t want to miss and one that supports a great cause – the National MS Society! During the event you will be able to watch the Preakness Stakes, airing live on the Piazza’s 400 square-foot LED screen. In addition, you’ll enjoy a delicious buffet of food, open bar with libations from Tito’s Handmade Vodka, contests and raffles, music, dancing, and fun-filled memories.
This is one of the most fashionable events of the spring season and would not be complete without a best dressed contest. There will be a total of five fashion contest categories, including overall Best Dressed Female and Male, Best Couple, Best Hat, and Best Shoes. The winners will receive a gift certificate from local stores such as Boyd’s Philadelphia. This year’s slated judges are Eva Pilgrim of 6ABC, Philadelphia Magazine’s Bryan Buttler, former Miss Philadelphia Francesca Ruscio of PHL17, President of Philadelphia Academies, Inc. and First Lady of Philadelphia Lisa Nutter, and Men’s Style Pro Founder Sabir Peele.
Tickets for the event are $75 for General Admission and $150 for VIP, with discounts for couples and groups. For more information, please visit www.preaknessatthepiazza.com.
