Sponsorship Opportunities

Getting Your Company Involved in the Derby Festival
   
Many local, regional, national and international businesses find sponsorship with the Kentucky Derby Festival a successful means of gaining exposure for their product or service.

There are currently more than 400 organizations from small local businesses to international corporations that find the Derby Festival a worthwhile investment.  Representing half of the Festival's funding, they are vital to the success of our civic celebration.
