We’re bringing the elegance and excitement of  the Derby to Lancaster County for an afternoon filled with festive flair, southern charm, and Derby-inspired celebration.

Grab your boldest hat and join us for an unforgettable Derby Day celebration in support of the Junior League of Lancaster! 

On Saturday, May 2, 2026, from 4:00–7:30 PM, we’re bringing the spirit of Churchill Downs to Lancaster County with an afternoon full of festive flair, Southern-inspired bites from Milk & Honey, and spirited fun at The Booking House in Manheim.

Your $75 pre-purchased ticket includes one drink and an extensive spread of gourmet, Derby-inspired hors d’oeuvres to enjoy while you sip, mingle, and cheer on the big race. Elevate your experience with our bourbon tasting, browse and bid in the silent auction, and show off your race-day style in our Best Hat Contest. (The more dramatic, the better!) 

This 21+ event is the perfect way to gather friends, dress to impress, and celebrate for a cause. Every ticket purchased supports the Junior League of Lancaster’s mission to develop women leaders and strengthen our community through meaningful volunteer service. When you purchase tickets, you will not receive downloadable tickets. Instead, you’ll be provided a reminder email with instructions and you’ll receive your ticket at the door!
