LOUISVILLE, KY -- One night of celebration and long-lasting impact, the Unbridled Eve Derby Gala, held on Derby Eve, May 3, 2024, is an evening of southern grace, glamour, and hospitality with a charitable component. Held at the Galt House Hotel in downtown Louisville, the Unbridled Eve Derby Gala will feature a red carpet entrance with celebrities, bourbon, amazing cocktails, new mocktail bar, southern-inspired food, musical entertainment, and dancing!

Unbridled is a unique experience unhindered by the limits of a typical Derby party. Our guests can engage with music however they like. Vibe with national recording artists in the Grand Ballroom, dance to your own beat with silent disco, or take to the microphone with Full Contact Karaoke.

The imagination is the only limit with our specialty bars. Gala-goers can taste Unbridled exclusive drinks and professional mixologists can create any number of other concoctions.

And Unbridled Eve celebrities aren't tethered to a VIP area away from everyone. They drink, dine, and dance with our guests...because one of our core principles is that ALL of our guests deserve the VIP experience.

In honor of the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby, the gala will be offering 150 spectacular and unique auction items, as well as 150 bourbons in the new bourbon pull. You must be present to participate in the Bourbon Pull. You do not need to be present to bid in the silent auction. Visit Unbridled Charitable Foundation – Unbridled Eve 2024 (bidpal.net) to learn more.

"The horses, the folks, the festivities, the elegance, and the special moments provided by the Unbridled Event, make Derby an unforgettable experience. To get to spend my birthday, on the 4th, at the Kentucky Derby is a great honor, and sure makes for a great birthday party! Thank you to the city of Louisville, the state of Kentucky, and the Yorks and their Unbridled team, for hosting us!" —Randy Travis, Grammy-winning country music artist
