More Party Ideas

While the actual Kentucky Derby is full of adult only activities like betting, drinking, and schmoozing, make sure the kids are still part of the festivities! Aside from making them some tasty mocktails, have them read up on classic Kentucky Derby Fashion as well as some of the exciting Kentucky Derby traditions!

Or, for a more hands-on experience, we have some fun crafts and contests that are perfect for little hands! Create some adorable brown paper horses that the kids can then pretend to race, or organize a hat contest for a fun group activity.
