Preakness may be in Laurel this year while Pimlico undergoes renovations, but the party is right here in Baltimore. Saturday, May 16, Lady Thames pushes off from Fell's Point for her maiden cruise — two hours on the harbor, the race broadcast live onboard, oysters being shucked, drinks in hand, the Baltimore skyline as the backdrop.

Includes oyster station and small bites, cash bar with drink package available, DJ, and dockside photos. Tickets from $150. The drink package is $30. Trackside Chic attire encouraged.
