Join the Fletcher Foundation for our fifth annual Derby Party on Saturday, May 3, 2025! Sip on a classic mint julep or your favorite cocktail, savor delicious hors d’oeuvres, and enjoy live music as we celebrate the most exciting two minutes in sports.

No Derby celebration is complete without show-stopping fashion! Don your most elegant, extravagant, or wildly creative hat or pair of socks for a chance to win our Best Hat Contest and our Best Socks Contest. Whether charming or outlandish, make a statement and take home the prize!
