If you need help with the races, this event will also be having a crash course on horserace betting so that you can make the most of your time there.
âThis year is expected to be the largest year for attendance yet,â said Tyler Rygus, co-director of the event, in a press release.
âTo keep the event exciting for past guests we will be making a few changes this year, adding a few new elements and attractions.â

This party is old-world leisure meets modern sophistication. The well-dressed affair is attended by many highly cultured, business-leading, and fashion-forward people.
It’s the best reason to wear your fanciest (and most fun) attire.
âAlthough I havenât had the good fortune to attend the Kentucky Derby yet, I have been told that the outfits at Packwood Grand are just as fabulous, if not more amazing, than what can be seen at Churchill Downs in Louisville,” said Rygus.
The event is invite-only, but you can request one on the website, and it’s absolutely worth it to try.
