Soiree Under The Spires

The Soiree is an opportunity for locals and out of town guests to experience the ambience of Churchill Downs, America's most historic Thoroughbred racetrack, hallowed ground where the Kentucky Derby has been run every year since 1875.

The party gets rolling with a cocktail reception and live entertainment in the members only Turf Club, followed by dinner in the world-renown Millionaires Row - where celebrities from around the globe gather on Derby Day.

VIP attendees will include well-known jockeys, horse racing and Derby celebrities, international dignitaries, PGA players, former Ryder Cup captains and business executives. The event will feature Kentucky food and beverage, entertainment and décor, as well as a fabulous silent auction.
