Preakness Stakes: Where To Attend Watch Parties

MARYLAND — This year's Preakness Stakes won't be unlike any other, as the historic race will be held at Anne Arundel County's Laurel Park.

The shift in venue comes as the Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore undergoes massive redevelopment. Racing at the treasured grounds isn't expected to return until at least 2027.

With the Kentucky Derby checked off, the second leg of the American Triple Crown gets underway in a little over a week.

The Black-Eyed Susan Stakes will kick off May 15, with the Preakness Stakes set for May 16.

But, if you haven't had the chance to snag a ticket to the big race, there are several watch parties scheduled across the region.

And, yes, the dress code is Preakness chic, according to organizers.
