Arrive in Louisville
Fly in and settle into Louisville. First bourbon of the trip tonight.
The Kentucky Derby is not just a race — it is a four-day celebration of horses, bourbon, hats, and Southern hospitality. We arrive in time for the Oaks on Friday, the biggest party the city throws the day before the main event, and stay through Derby Day at Churchill Downs. Between race days: the Kentucky Derby Museum, bourbon distillery tours, horse farm visits, and the full experience of Louisville at its most festive.
