🍳 Brunch + Brews | Saturday, Nov. 19 | 11:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. | Brunch bites and drinks — don’t miss the Bubbles Lounge and Modelo Michelada Bar. Snag tickets.

🥂 Thanksgiving Brunch | Thursday, Nov. 24 | 11 a.m. | A decadent, three-course holiday meal served at the Turf Club — with bottomless mimosas or bloody marys. Find tickets.
