The Kentucky Derby Festival is postponing all events on the 2020 schedule until later in the year in response to concerns about COVID-19. For now, public health and safety needs to be our focus. We appreciate everything that is being done on a state and local level, and we want to support that effort. 

We are working to reschedule events. Please know, the Festival’s schedule may look a little different as we move things into this new timeframe. Our goal is to have Thunder Over Louisville, the miniMarathon, the Pegasus Parade, Fest-a-Ville and the Chow Wagon, and many other events in between.

We are contacting all those involved with the postponed events to alert them of the changes, including all ticket holders. At this time, we do not have the new date for the event, but will reach out to ticket holders when we have a better idea of what the Derby Festival 2020 like. We would be happy to issue a refund for your VIP ticket at that time.

The Kentucky Derby Festival Waterfront Jam will include live music on two stages at Kroger’s Fest-a-Ville featuring nearly 25 local and regional bands and 5 national acts.  Admission to all concerts will be FREE with a 2020 Pegasus Pin. VIP Viewing tickets available for select shows.
