Presented by Dax Droski and The Social Concierge, the 9th-Annual Deighton Cup will

build on its reputation of showcasing the best of both fashion and fun in Vancouver. A

heart-pumping day at the races, this year’s Deighton Cup boasts an array of new

of the Style Stakes Best Dressed competition and a preview art installation from the

Vancouver Biennale.

Headed by acclaimed Vancouver barkeep Alex Black, the competition will pit 10 of the province’s top bartenders against each other in a quest for the ultimate twist on a classic

Champagne cocktail sponsored by Piper-Heidsieck. The winner gets bragging rights, the

coveted Boothby Julep Trophy and a $1,000 cash prize!
