Pull out that fancy sundress and crazy hat because it’s time to cheer for “the most exciting two minutes in sports.” The Kentucky Derby is Saturday, and Tavern On Rush will host its seventh annual viewing party, complete with a Best Hat Contest. The winner will walk away with $750, but even if you’re not competing, you can still score food specials and $6 mint juleps. 9 a.m. to 3 a.m. Saturday.
Chop Shop is hosting the Awake & Bake Festival, a completely free coffee and pie festival, featuring roasters like Abacus Coffee, Big Shoulders Coffee, Bridgeport Coffee, Colectivo Coffee and Metropolis Coffee. To pair, try pies from Bakers Square, The Fix Pies, Imani’s Original Bean Pies, Linda’s Magic Brownies, Roeser’s Bakery and XO Marshmallow. There also will be live music, face painting, photo booths and more. Free, 12:30 to 3 p.m. Sunday.
