Celebrate the Kentucky Derby in style with your pooch at the Esplanade on Saturday, May 4 from 12:00pm to 2:00pm.

The Kentucky Dog Derby is a 1/2-mile parade around Fiedler Field, hosted by the Esplanade Association, to benefit the park, highlighting it as a resource for dog owners while celebrating the arrival of spring. In addition to the parade, there will be a variety of games, demos, and giveaways for attendees to enjoy, as well as goody bags for all attendees.

We encourage both you and your dog to wear your Derby finest (bow ties, hats, sundresses, florals, and more) – there will be prizes for both best-dressed pup and for human/dog duet! Hosted in partnership with Pawsh Dog Boutique & Salon. To register, and for more information, visit https://www.eventbrite.com/e/kentucky-dog-derby-tickets-58433617523
