The party kicks off at 2 PM at the Twisted Tail's upstairs Juke Joint and runs until 7 PM (but the Juke Joint stays open until 1 AM if you want to keep the fun going). Ladies, break out the hats! Gents, find your dapper side! There'll be prizes for the best dressed, including a "Best Couple" category.
The Maker's Mark Mint Julep Lounge will be the place to be, with iconic drinks served in signature cups you can even personalize. But the fun doesn't stop there—expect live music all day, flower crown-making for those without hats, photo booths, and raffles. It's an experience, not just watching horses on a screen.
The Twisted Tail knows how to throw a party, and this isn't some half-hearted attempt – they're going all out. We love the focus on dressing up! It taps into the Derby's sense of tradition and makes it unique. It's the perfect mix of classy and casual, so you can go big on the outfit or sip a Julep and enjoy the music.
Bottom line: If you want the Derby Day experience without the trip to Kentucky, the Twisted Tail is your spot. Find all the details on their website [include link] – and get those outfits planned!
