It’s almost time for the Kentucky Derby, and Tavern on Rush is bringing the party.
Make your plans to head to the Gold Coast on Saturday, May 2nd for Tavern’s Derby Day Soirée, where the hats are big, the cocktails are strong, and the energy stays high all afternoon. Grab a drink, hit the photo ops, and settle in while the DJ spins from 3–6 p.m.
At 4 p.m., things level up with the debut of Runway on Rush: Derby Edition, their first-ever Derby-themed fashion show in the atrium. Expect bold, race-day-ready looks from local designers Kivanci, Dr. Lucas, and Lauren Lein.
The main event airs live at 5:56 p.m. on every TV, including the big LED screen in the atrium, so you won’t miss a second. Afterward, stick around for our Best Dressed Contest and see who really understood the assignment.
No reservations. Just show up early, dress to impress, and make a day of it.
Big hats encouraged. Subtlety not required. For more info, visit: tavernonrush.com/kentucky-derby-party
