Bourbon and Bluegrass: A Derby Kickoff Party

Kick off Derby Week the Louisville way — with bourbon, bluegrass, and a whole lotta 502 pride! Join us at Whiskey Thief Distilling Co. for our Bourbon & Bluegrass: 502 Kickoff Party as we celebrate 502’s Day and the start of the most exciting week in Kentucky.

After a day at the track, wind down with:

•  Live Bluegrass Music from Louisville Bluegrass Band
• Bourbon & Craft Cocktail Specials
• Outdoor Patio Vibes
• No Cover — Just Great Bourbon & Great Company

Plus, dress to impress! We’ll be giving away Best Dressed prizes to those rocking their Derby finest — so break out the bowties, fascinators, and big hats. Let’s see that Derby drip!

Whether you're a local or just here for the Derby, there's no better place to kick off Louisville's biggest week.
