KENTUCKY DERBY MUSEUM BALL

The 2026 Kentucky Derby Museum Ball presented by Central Bank brought guests together for an unforgettable evening celebrating the rich history and timeless tradition of Kentucky Derby fashion. The elegant affair began with cocktails in Churchill Downs’ Paddock Club before transitioning to an artfully plated dinner and dessert on the Museum’s Oaks Terrace. As the evening continued, the Backstretch Afterparty transformed the night into a celebration filled with music, dancing, and Derby spirit, all made possible through the support of generous sponsors and supporters.
