Raise a Glass. Dress Bold. Celebrate Local.
Few traditions capture the spirit of spring quite like the Kentucky Derby, and in Greeley, that festive energy comes to life at one of the community’s most anticipated annual gatherings.
Now in its fourth year, The Greeley Derby Party returns on May 2, 2026, bringing signature style, lively entertainment, and a meaningful local impact to the DoubleTree by Hilton Greeley at Lincoln Park. What began as a stylish afternoon celebration has quickly grown into a can’t-miss social event where guests arrive dressed to impress, fascinators take center stage, and the excitement of Derby Day fills the room.
From the moment doors open at 2 p.m., attendees are invited to step into an atmosphere inspired by the pageantry of Churchill Downs. Guests can expect elevated cocktails, themed bites, and music setting the tone for an afternoon that feels both polished and playful. Throughout the event, interactive Derby-style table games add to the festive energy, while the outdoor cigar lounge offers a relaxed space for conversation and connection.
Whether guests come for the fashion, the festivities, or the race itself, the experience strikes a balance between high-energy celebration and the welcoming, local feel the event has become known for.
At its heart, the Derby Party is about more than mint juleps and bold hats. Each year, the event brings people together in support of a greater purpose, reinforcing the strong spirit of generosity that continues to define the Greeley community.
Tickets are $45 per person and include access to the full Derby experience, Kentucky themed buffet, and 2 themed cocktails (Full cash bar available). Guests are encouraged to gather their friends, embrace the tradition of Derby fashion, and arrive ready to celebrate.
Most importantly, a portion of proceeds from The Greeley Derby Party will benefit Safe Families for Children (SFFC) Northern Colorado, continuing the event’s commitment to giving back and investing in the community that makes gatherings like this so special.
Stylish, spirited, and rooted in local impact, The Greeley Derby Party has earned its place as one of Greeley’s favorite spring traditions, and this year’s celebration is poised to be the most memorable yet.
