About this Event

Join us on Saturday, May 3rd for Grand Rapids’ ultimate Kentucky Derby Day party, where outdoor day-drinking meets high-stakes horse racing, live music, and Southern-inspired fun! Our Pre-Race Party kicks off at 2 PM and runs through race end, so you can soak in all the action leading up to the big race including the big race.

🎶 LIVE MUSIC & OUTDOOR FESTIVITIES 🎶 Enjoy a high-energy atmosphere under our outdoor tent, featuring a 16-ft screen and multiple TVs ensuring you won’t miss a second of the pre-race coverage or the Run for the Roses. Our Derby-inspired “Front Porch” setup will include yard games, VIP tables, and a classic Southern vibe that’ll make you feel like you’re trackside at Churchill Downs.

🥃 SIP ON SAZERAC & SOUTHERN CLASSICS 🥃 Indulge in the best Derby-inspired cocktails with a featured Sazerac spirits menu, plus all your race-day favorites—Mint Juleps, Old Fashioneds, Bourbon Smashes, beer, wine, and more. Whether you're sipping, savoring, or celebrating, we’ve got the perfect drink to keep the party going.
