Event before party
Most people don't know that even though the Kentucky Derby lasts about 2 minutes, the entire town is packed with spectators for days before and after the game. This means you have to attend a special warm-up party to really get into the spirit of the derby.
this Mare and Lily Party ($599), Barnstable Brown Gala ($1595), Derby Rockin' Eve, Unbridled Eve, and Winner's Party are some of the social gatherings you should consider attending. After all, you will be able to meet high-level people and build some networks.
