A Derby experience you won't forget.

Experience “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports” in the style of The Grove Park Inn. Enjoy pre-race and live race coverage on the big screen while sipping the traditional mint julep in a commemorative glass at our Great Hall Bar. Get your seat early for the celebration of the 135th Kentucky Derby!

The Official Mint Julep Glass of the Kentucky Derby since 1939, the Derby glass has been used for mint juleps at Churchill Downs and has become one of the most prized collectibles of the Kentucky Derby. Start your own collection—this year’s official Derby glass is yours to keep when you purchase a mint julep in the Great Hall or for $5 with any drink purchase.
