Churchill Downs | Louisville, Kentucky | Saturday, May 2, 2026
The 152nd running of the Kentucky Derby, famously known as “The Most Exciting Two Minutes in Sports,” returns to the hallowed grounds of Churchill Downs on May 2, 2026, where premier thoroughbred racing, Southern tradition, and elite social energy collide in a singular spectacle.
As the first jewel of the Triple Crown, this iconic Grade I stakes race showcases the world’s fastest and most promising three-year-old thoroughbreds chasing glory over 1¼ miles of Churchill Downs’ historic dirt track — all culminating in the awarding of the lush blanket of roses to the champion.
But the Derby is more than a race — it’s an entire cultural experience. Derby Week, beginning a full week before the main event, brings with it an array of signature festivities, including elite social events, fashion-forward gatherings, and the vibrant Kentucky Derby Festival celebrations that amplify the energy across Louisville.
For SILHO members seeking not just attendance but presence, 2026 offers curated access that rises above general admission — from premium seating and private suites overlooking the Twin Spires to bespoke hospitality experiences, VIP lounges, and concierge coordination for travel and accommodations.
The Kentucky Derby is not just watched — it’s claimed.
SILHO positions you front and center for the Run for the Roses.
