Bring Community and Tradition Together

Join the Kentucky Derby Festival and volunteer to create a citywide celebration!

The Derby Festival couldn’t produce our events without the help of our dedicated volunteers. The Festival itself would not be the grand civic celebration it has become without the commitment of community members like you!

And there’s no amount of time that’s too small to give. We have opportunities to help for one hour to an entire week. It’s the perfect chance to join the fun and add experience to your resume.

As a volunteer, you will receive the following benefits:

• Behind-the-scenes look at the Derby Festival’s biggest events
• Complimentary swag
• Tickets to other city events
• Discounts from various organizations

Here are just a few of the events that need volunteers:

• Thunder Over Louisville
• Zoeller Pump Company Pegasus Parade
• GE Appliances mini & Marathon
• Samtec Great Bed Races
• Chicken Salad Chick WineFest
• And much more!

To all our volunteers – THANK YOU!
