Gala on Derby Eve 2016 

Get your reservations for the 2016 Gala on Derby Eve Party!

Your “place to be on Derby Eve” is back for its 13th year. The Gala brings together 200-plus guests in Richmond each year to celebrate Kentucky’s Derby tradition while raising funds for Hospice Care Plus.  

This year, in addition to dining and dancing, we are excited to offer a Bourbon Tasting Tent.  The Bourbon Tasting features a variety of top-shelf bourbons that you can taste using a commemorative shot glass made just for 2016 Gala guests.

To gain access to the Bourbon Tasting Tent, simply purchase the $25 commemorative shot glass when you make your reservation.
