Time to get your stylish hats, chic dresses, flashy bow ties, and colourful suspenders! Vancouver’s most stylish event, the Deighton Cup is about to take place and will be bigger than ever.
This year derby-goers will have entry to a whole new VIP experience with access to the Marquee and Concourse. Not only will ticket holders enjoy all day horse racing, but they will get to experience an exclusive race day feast.
There will be food tents galore, a picnic area, cigar lounge, and champagne stage. Your appetite will be well past satisfied by the end of the event.
This year’s menu is a mix of southern and Pacific Rim cuisine. Chef, Brett Turner has transformed the traditional southern inspired food by incorporating our favourite local flavours. The result is a tantalizing array of food that embody the spirit of the West Coast.
