About this event
Join us for this fabulous annual event to support the children and families served by Square One!
Short of heading to Church Hill Downs, this is the BEST way to enjoy the Kentucky Derby, and we are so excited to bring this event back to the Armory at MGM Springfield in 2024!
Enjoy great food, cocktails, prizes and the company of great friends, while watching the race on the big screen. This year, the Derby Party takes place on Saturday, May 4th from 5:00PM-8:00PM in the Armory at MGM. Tickets are limited so please reserve your spot early!
Sponsorship opportunities are available. Please contact Kris Allard at Square One to learn more: kallard@startatsquareone.org or 508.942.3147

Though MGM and Square One are equipped to accept credit card payments on site, we encourage guests to have cash on hand for our auction & other prize opportunities!
Dressing up for the Derby is one of our favorite parts of this event! We encourage you to break out your best hats, fascinators, seersucker suits and Derby-inspired dresses! **PS-- we often give out prizes for best style!
Registration will open at 5:00PM on Saturday, May 4th! Please make your way to the FRONT of the Armory building- it's outside the casino, just across Armory Square across from TAP Sports Bar.
Doors open at 5:00PM! We encourage you to enjoy hors d'oeuvres, cash bar, and lots of great prize opportunities before our brief program begins around 6:30PM. Horses will enter the paddock around 6:55, which is the same time that our auctions close. The Derby race will kick off just before 7PM!
