What to Eat

When it comes to celebrating the Kentucky Derby at home the options for mouth-watering dishes to whip up are endless. From burgoo and fried chicken to Benedictine sandwiches and charcuterie spreads, dazzle your Derby guests with some of the following tasty treats.

What to Wear

Florals & Fedoras

One of the best ways to get in the Derby spirit is to dress to impress. Since the 1800s, ladies and gentlemen have been wearing their best and brightest to Churchill Downs for the Run for the Roses.

There isn’t any reason you can’t do the same at home! Even if you’re celebrating with friends virtually, invite everyone to don their best Derby looks. A virtual hat competition is a perfect way to inspire people to take the dress code seriously. Men can get in on the fun too: Fedora and bowler hats were often worn to the track in the 1920s. One hundred years later, this trend is due for a comeback.
