This year’s event featured two matches, cuisine from the city’s top organic and sustainable restaurants and cafes, entertainment by local horse groups, live music performances. Guests enjoyed the festivities from the sideline at tailgate parties and hung out at the Member’s club lounge or VIP area while sipping ‘Ecotinis’ and enjoying the prime view from the Grand Stand. Philipe Cousteau, some of famous environmentalist Jacque Cousteau, was on hand and joined other celebrities in acknowledging the work of EPIC and other beneficiary groups of the event.
