The 140th Kentucky Derby is right around the corner and Alba has all of the accoutrements for a perfect race day celebration. On Saturday, May 3rd, they’ll be breaking out the big hats and mint juleps for a Woodford Reserve-sponsored shindig complete with southern-inspired bites from chef Richard Allaire. There’ll be seven big screens showing the race, a hat contest for the ladies, and complimentary cocktails so you can get your julep fix while you cheer on Beverly-based Wicked Strong (or another horse of your choosing). The party begins at 4:00 and wraps up, hats and all, at 7:00pm. Call Alba at 617.376.2522 for more information or to reserve a spot.
