Kentucky Derby 2025
Experience the 2025 Kentucky Derby with our exclusive Travel Packages
The Kentucky Derby, a Grade I Stakes race for three-year-old Thoroughbreds, is known as “the most exciting two minutes in sports.” This prestigious race has been held annually since 1875, and the 151st running will take place on May 3, 2025. The Kentucky Derby weekend offers much more than the race itself, with Louisville kicking off celebrations weeks in advance. The event truly provides a unique experience. On the big day, the Derby crowd features some of the biggest names in sports and entertainment, as everyone gathers at the Twin Spires for the famed Run for the Roses.
Experience Sport will create a personalized 4-day Kentucky Derby travel package tailored to your preferences, including first-class Louisville hotels, your choice of tickets, premium viewing options, race hospitality, event day transfers, and high-touch service throughout.
