Saturday, May 2nd
Hold onto your hats, polish up those boots, and get ready to run for the roses… Sunset style. 🌹
We’re turning the lakefront into our own little slice of Churchill Downs for an afternoon of Derby Day fun, big laughs, and the FINAL Meat Raffle of the season. Whether you're here for the race, the raffle, the bourbon, or just the people watching (which will be elite), this is one Saturday you don’t want to miss.
Here’s what’s coming out of the gate:
🥩 Final Meat Raffle of the Season – 1:30 PM
Our last one before summer kicks into high gear. You know the drill — great prizes, big cheers, and a room full of hopeful winners.
🏇 The Kentucky Derby – 5:57 PM
We’ll have the race on and the energy up as we watch the fastest two minutes in sports together.
🥃 Buffalo Trace Bottle Giveaways
We’re giving away bottles of Buffalo Trace Bourbon throughout the day — just be here for your chance to win.
👒 Best Dressed Couple Contest
Break out the Derby hats, seersucker, bow ties, and bold outfits. The most stylish duo in the room takes home the prize (and probably everyone’s attention).
🍹 Mint Julep Specials
Because you can’t celebrate the Derby without the classic.
🍝 Saturday Pasta Night + LAST Salad Bar of the Season
Pile your plate high with our Saturday Pasta Night specials, and take one last trip through the salad bar before it disappears for the season.
Between the meat raffle excitement, Derby Day drinks, big hats, and a packed house of Sunset regulars, this is shaping up to be one heck of a Saturday on the lake.
Grab your crew, dress to impress, and come spend Derby Day where the party always runs a little faster.
Gates open early. The fun starts at 1:30. The race goes off at 5:57.
See you at Sunset. 🏇🍹🌅
