You can never have too much fun and that's what the Kentucky Derby Festival is all about. The Derby Festival is one of the most celebrated organizations in the world, and we want you to be a part of our celebration. The Thorobreds began as our core volunteer organization in 1974, with 500 members of The Thorobreds working behind the scenes to help Festival events run seamlessly. While there are still many Thorobreds whose main goal is to volunteer, the program has transitioned into the Festivals VIP membership program.

Membership benefits include:

The opportunity to purchase discounted tickets to events
An advanced ticket order form to order tickets to events before going on sale to the public.
Complimentary private seating and Thorobred only benefits at events.
The opportunity to purchase private Thorobred only packages for back stage VIP treatment at events
Receive regular issues of Thorobred News to keep you in the loop.

Receive a gift card good for merchandise and the opportunity to order additional special merchandise with your thorobred membership discount.

And more...
