Every first Saturday in May, the world turns its eyes to Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky, for the most exciting two minutes in sports—the Kentucky Derby. More than just a horse race, the Derby is a spectacle of fashion, tradition, and Southern hospitality.


The Derby Experience

Attending the Kentucky Derby is about more than placing bets on the fastest thoroughbreds. But it is fun to win! I honestly know nothing about horse racing or how to pick the winning horse. But after doing my research and learning from the experts I skipped all advice and went with my favorite named horse and won!


The derby is about immersing yourself in an event rich in history and pageantry. If you are planning on going -go big with your hat. I mean crazy big and be creative. Look for pics from past Derby races for ideas. Or we can help you purchase one from one of the several KD designers.


Planning Your Trip

Securing tickets and accommodations for the Derby requires planning, as hotels and prime viewing spots book up well in advance. We can help with access to VIP events, behind-the-scenes tours, and exclusive hospitality options.
