Big hats, bowties, mint juleps, and a giant screen full of horse racing drama. Avenue East Cobb brings its annual Kentucky Derby viewing party to The Plaza with an easy excuse to dress sharp, sip something cold, and act like race analysis has been a lifelong skill.
The party features live music, themed drinks, race betting, and a live showing of the Kentucky Derby on the jumbo LED screen. Peach State Pizza will be serving mint juleps and other themed drinks, which feels very on brand for an evening built around fast horses and flashy hats.
Guests can take part in horse race betting during the event, with proceeds benefiting Chastain Horse Park’s therapeutic program. A winner will be drawn from the tickets assigned to the first, second, and third place horses, and the selected winners will receive an Avenue East Cobb gift basket.
Event Schedule:
From 5 pm to 6:30 pm, guests can enjoy live music while race betting remains open.
At 6:30 pm, betting closes and the LED screen and sound switch over to the Kentucky Derby broadcast.
At 6:57 pm, the race begins, which is the moment when bold derby hats suddenly feel like serious sporting equipment.
The event wraps up at 7 pm
If the weather turns uncooperative, updates will be posted through @avenueeastcobb.
