Deets: Kentucky Derby at The Pony: All Dressed Up and Ready to Race

Grab your biggest hat and your best outfitβ€”The Pony is throwing the Derby Day watch party you've been waiting for. Saturday, May 2nd from 2–6 PM, we're bringing full race day energy: mint juleps that taste like celebration, mimosas flowing freely, cold beer on tap, and a spread of Southern comfort food that hits every note. Think fried chicken, roasted potatoes, cornbread, and mac that'll have you coming back for more.

Your ticket covers everythingβ€”all the drinks, all the food, live music keeping the vibe alive, and your entry into our Best Dressed & Hat Contest. This isn't just a watch party; it's a full experience. Come fashion-forward, come competitive, come hungry. Whether you're here for the horses, the hats, the fits, or just a genuinely good time surrounded by people who get it, this is the Derby celebration that matters.
