Taste of Derby

Kick off your Kentucky Derby weekend in style and experience an evening of exquisite cuisine and entertainment, while contributing to the fight against hunger in America.

Taste of Derby, making its inaugural debut on the eve of the Kentucky Oaks, is a premier entertainment event that celebrates the cuisine of popular horse racing destinations across the country.  Renowned chefs - each representing a major racetrack and its region - will serve up their specialties complete with a delectable wine pairing, and alongside famous horse racing personalities.

A live auction featuring unique experience packages and live entertainment will take the party to the next level and top-off the extraordinary evening!

Churchill Downs will donate a portion of the proceeds to the Dare to Care Food Bank and the United Nations World Food Programme, reaching families in need where participating chefs and racetracks are located.

Taste of Derby is presented by Yum! Brands.

Event takes place at the Mellwood Arts & Entertainment Center.
