Mount Prospect Downtown Merchants Association
The Mount Prospect Downtown Merchants Association (MPDMA) is hosting the "Derby de Mayo" Pub Crawl on Saturday, May 4, 2019 from 3:00 - 7:00 p.m. The Derby de Mayo celebrates two events in early May: the Kentucky Derby and Cinco de Mayo.
"The downtown pub crawls are a great way to support local businesses and celebrate our community! We hope you will get a group together - co-workers, neighbors or friends - and enjoy a fun day in downtown Mount Prospect," said Karen Enzenbacher of Amethyst Skye Salon and chair of the Pub Crawl Committee.
Registration is $15 and includes a pub crawl t-shirt. Registration for the event is available at www.downtownmountprospect.com. Register by April 22 to receive a t-shirt; guests may still register until May 3 online, and onsite the day of the event.
Participating venues include Emerson's Ale House, Mrs. P & Me, Sam's Place, Station 34 and Trezero's Kitchen + Tap.
On the day of the event, participants can check-in for the "Derby de Mayo" Pub Crawl starting at 2:30 p.m. at the Village Green at Mount Prospect's Village Hall, 50 S. Emerson Street.
