Frequently asked questions
Tickets are $50/person or $400 for a table of 8 people. If you want a table together, just let us know who is coming and we will reserve it for you.
No, but you would probably have more fun if you did. We have contests and trophies for "Best Derby Style", "Best Hat" and "Best In Show" for guests who get all gussied up and get down and derby with us. As we like to say, "Big Hats, Big Fun!"
Yay! It's your first time. In addition to the "most exciting two minutes in sports" we also have hobby horse races, lawn games, an interactive photo booth, silent auction, live music, and karaoke. And don't forget to bring some extra cash so you can get in on the famous "Hold Your Horses" Game.
Proceeds from the WGAR Kentucky Derby Party go to Swerve Outreach, a local non-profit that provides assistance to kids in the SEP Community and Eastern Polk County. They make sure local kids have access to food, basic needs, educational, athletic opportunities, and more. Helping them helps kids.
