Join us at the Historic Yuengling Mansion for an elegant Southern-inspired afternoon celebrating the most exciting two minutes in sports. The Inaugural Kentucky Derby Garden Party blends a garden fête, art gala, and social fundraiser into one unforgettable experience set on the mansion grounds.
Guests will enjoy a special Patricia Yuengling pony art exhibit, live music, Derby fashion, and classic race traditions while mingling throughout the estate. Sip cocktails, sample Southern-style hors d’oeuvres, take photos at the rose garland backdrop, and gather with friends and community members as we watch the Kentucky Derby together.
Throughout the event, guests can participate in themed games and activities including a Best Dressed contest, raffles, wine and bourbon pulls, and our “Bet on a Horse” game before the official race viewing and celebratory mint julep toast.
