Kentucky Derby
You haven’t really lived until you dress up in your Sunday best and sip on a mint julep at the Kentucky Derby. Perhaps the most famous steeplechase in the world, the Kentucky Derby is an annual horseracing event that began in 1875 and takes place at the Churchill Downs racetrack in Louisville, KY.
Although the race itself is short (the Derby has been hailed as “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports”), the galas, dinners, and parties surrounding the event make it well worth the trip. Each year the event attracts over 150,000 spectators who gulp down an estimated 120,000 mint juleps – the Derby’s signature bourbon cocktail – every year.
