The Derby Party

Join us for our annual Derby Party fundraiser at the National Museum of Racing and Hall of Fame, featuring delicious samplings of local brews, wines and spirits, and signature bites from local restaurants.

While exploring the Museum and its exhibits, guests will enjoy live entertainment before a live airing of the 2025 Kentucky Derby in the Official Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame.

This year we are celebrating the Museum's 75th Anniversary! To celebrate the Museum’s founding, guests are encouraged to dress in your best 1950’s Derby attire! 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 offers 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.
