03/17/20 – DERBY FESTIVAL POSTPONES EVENTS UNTIL LATER IN THE YEAR

I believe this is only the third time in its history the Derby will not be held on schedule. Louisville is always a buzz of activity and events for at least a month prior, with families holding Derby parties and many events down on the Ohio River.
Sad time for Kentucky in many ways.

03/17/20 – DERBY FESTIVAL POSTPONES EVENTS UNTIL LATER IN THE YEAR

Each year, the Kentucky Derby Festival produces more than 70 events in the weeks leading up to the first Saturday in May. Now the Festival will move those events to later in the year, in conjunction with the new date for the Kentucky Derby on Saturday, September 5.
Said Gibson, “The schedule may look a little different with events moving into a new timeframe, but our goal is to have Thunder Over Louisville, the miniMarathon, the Pegasus Parade, Fest-a-Ville and the Chow Wagon, and many other events in between.”
The new date for Thunder Over Louisville is set for Saturday, August 15. The Festival will release other new dates as soon as they are finalized. Information regarding ticketed events, participant registration and refunds will also be forthcoming.
