Downtown Fond du Lac’s All Day Kentucky Derby Celebration!
Celebrate the Kentucky Derby in style during Downtown Fond du Lac’s first annual Downtown Derby Day – an all-day celebration of the running of the Kentucky Derby!
This premiere event truly has something for everyone! From hat-making workshops, horse and carriage rides, and Kentucky Derby watch parties, to tons of great shopping specials, and the second annual Downtown Fond du Lac Beer & Bourbon Crawl, there is Derby inspired fun around every corner! Plus, plenty of photo opportunities and various derby themed activites, contests, and prizes hosted by numerous downtown businesses.
Dress to impress! Derby inspired attire is highly encouraged!
Glamourous, high-fashion threads have been a part of the Kentucky Derby experience since the very beginning, so it only makes sense to celebrate the 150th Anniversary in style. Don your biggest, brightest and most glamourous ensembles, headwear and accessories to be a part of the fun! Who knows? Maybe you’ll be chosen as one of our Best Dressed participants for great prizes supplied by downtown businesses!
