There will also be band karaoke after the race, wtih free dub pies in between sets.
Over at Union Hall in Park Slope, there will be live music on the back platform, a corn hole toss competition (with prizes), food, $3 Maker's Mark juleps and cocktails, and the race shown on a big screen. The event is also free, starting at 2 p.m.
t.b.d. in Greenpoint gets in on the fun with a best hat contest (this one for the ladies), a Southern "sidewalk" BBQ, $4 Maker's Mark juleps, and bluegrass music from 4 p.m. to the start of the game at 6 p.m., where you can see it on three large flatscreen HDTVs.
