On the first Saturday of every May, nothing in the world matters to horse lovers except the Kentucky Derby. In one of the most prominent and prestigious horse races in the world, the Kentucky Derby crowns the fastest three-year-old horse in the world. This elite event is a must see for its excitement and cannot be appreciated the same from your television at home.

The ambiance at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky is one of a kind. The Kentucky Derby is the beginning of a two-week long festival and is the first of the United States Triple Crown of Thoroughbred Racing, followed by the Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes.

While at the Kentucky Derby, enjoy a Mint Julep, which is a historic race tradition. It contains bourbon, mint and sugar syrup. Also have a taste of the burgoo, a thick stew, which is an admired Kentucky dish. The derby is also known for its extravagant hats. The old southern tradition is a huge part of the Kentucky Derby and the bigger the hat, the better!
