April – Kentucky Derby Festival
Posted on 11. Apr, 2011 by admin in What’s on
Taking place 15th April to 5th May, this festival occurs in the three weeks immediately preceding the first Saturday in May, when the world-famous Kentucky Derby race is run. This whirlwind of 70 special events starts off with “Thunder Over Louisville”, the nations largest annual fireworks extravaganza and includes other events such as the Great Balloon Race and the Festival Spring Fashion Show.
Another huge event taking place 28th April at the Kentucky Horse Park is the Rolex Kentucky. This three-day event tests the relationship and finesse between horse and rider in three disciplines: dressage; cross-country and jumping.
