Newport Beach Duffy Derby 2025

Welcome to the Newport Beach Duffy Derby, the ultimate celebration of nautical elegance and maritime merriment! Get ready to channel your inner Southern belle or dapper gent as we bring the spirit of the Kentucky Derby to the sun-drenched shores of the West Coast.

Picture this: Newport Beach Harbor comes alive with a colorful parade of Duffy boats, each adorned with unique decorations reflecting their boat names. From the sleek and stylish to the whimsically adorned, these vessels transform into floating works of art, setting the stage for a spectacle only comparable to the iconic 'Churchill Down's' in Kentucky.

Prepare for some friendly competition as the main event kicks off: THE RACE. Bet and cheer on your favorite boats as they vie for victory in a thrilling display of skill and speed, and style - there will be a winning purse!

But the fun doesn't stop there! Derby attire is strongly encouraged, so don your finest seersucker suits, sundresses, and of course, those iconic big hats. Sip on mint juleps and indulge in bourbon tastings as you soak up the festive atmosphere.

Attendees will be able to enjoy culinary delicacies, spirits - and live music and entertainment all day long.

So mark your calendars and join the 'Kentucky Derby' of the West - the inaugural Newport Beach Duffy Derby!
