Where can you find the cutest Kentucky Derby viewing party on the Front Range, complete with a live mini horse race, big hats, pastel suites, mint juleps, and more!?! We’ve got the scoop…
The 2nd Annual Denver Mini Derby will be held May 5, 2018 from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm at Stanley Marketplace. Guests will enjoy viewing the 144th running of the Kentucky Derby on large screens followed by a live mini horse “race”, including charitable betting. And if that’s not reason enough to attend there will also be a DJ & dance floor, photos ops with the mini horses, best hat/suit/couple contests, a corgi race, an open bar, and great food options!

3:50 pm – Charitable Betting Ends

General admission tickets ($99) include admission to the viewing party, the miniature horse race, the contests, and open bar.
