The Derby Party!

Join us on Saturday, May 6 as the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame presents ... The Derby Party!

Join us at this Kentucky-themed fundraiser featuring delicious samplings of local brews and spirits, as well as signature Kentucky-inspired dishes from local restaurants. While exploring the Museum and its exhibits, guests will enjoy entertainment in the prestigious Hall of Fame before a live airing of the 2023 Kentucky Derby.

This year we are celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Secretariat's Triple Crown victory! Guests are encouraged to dress in your best 1970s-themed Derby attire in his honor. An award for the most fashionable themed attire will be presented before post time. Also, there's always a chance to win with our race-day-inspired 50/50 raffle and silent auction!

The National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame is excited to offer an authentic experience with a unique twist for the racing and food enthusiast. The Museum is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization, and all proceeds from this year’s event support the Museum’s educational mission and allow for exciting exhibits and programs all year round.
