SUMMARY:April Derby Drag Brunch
DESCRIPTION:Hold onto your hats\, heels\, and highballs — Derby just got a drag upgrade. \nOn Saturday\, April 11th\, we’re cranking the glam to scandalous levels at High Stakes Rooftop for a Derby-Themed Drag Brunch that’s louder than a losing bet and twice as fabulous. \nBrunch starts at 10AM Performances slay the stage at 11AM \nWe begin like royalty should — with bottomless house-baked pastries (because moderation is a myth)\, followed by a classic American breakfast served family-style: Fluffy Pancakes Scrambled Eggs Breakfast Potatoes Crispy Bacon Toast Coffee\, Tea & Soda Included \nCome hungry. Leave legendary. \nWe’re partnering with Tito’s Handmade Vodka and Red Bull to keep the cocktails strong and the energy stronger. \nAnd here’s the feel-good twist: $1 from every Tito’s purchase benefits the Kentucky Pride Foundation\, supporting LGBTQ+ initiatives across the Bluegrass State. \nDrink up\, darlings — it’s philanthropy with a kick. \nAnd let’s be clear: this is not the brunch for basic. Guests are strongly encouraged to dress for the track — we’re talking statement hats\, dramatic fascinators\, seersucker suits\, bold florals\, and “main character at the Derby” energy. \nIf it wouldn’t turn heads at Churchill Downs\, try harder. Expect sky-high wigs\, split-worthy performances\, razor-sharp wit\, and enough sass to make a Southern belle blush. The only thing faster than the horses will be the queens. Seats will go. Outfits will stun. Reputations may not recover. Place your bets accordingly. \n
