The first Saturday in May plays host to one of the South’s most famed events: the Kentucky Derby. And while most of us can’t be a part of the Derby experience at Churchill Downs in Louisville, there are plenty of ways to bring home the excitement of “the greatest two minutes in sports” with a Kentucky Derby–themed party. Also known as “The Run for the Roses,” the Kentucky Derby is not only a legendary race and longstanding tradition, it's also the perfect opportunity for a springtime celebration. The key to a great Derby party is incorporating Southern entertaining staples mixed with equestrian touches in the food, décor, and attire. Sundresses, big hats, bourbon balls, and mint juleps. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite equestrian-themed essentials and Derby-worthy attire to help you host the perfect Kentucky Derby soirée that will guarantee you a spot in the winner’s circle.
