About This Festival

Louisville celebrates in style with a two week festival that takes over the city before the race itself. It starts with Thunder Over Louisville, a day long air show followed by a night time fireworks display. The Pegasus Parade takes place the Thursday before the derby and is the largest street parade in the country. Look for the Royal Court, consisting of five of Louisville's most distinguished young ladies who preside over each event.
