Kentucky Derby Celebration at Hopkins Park Band shell on Saturday, May 2, 2026.
@ The Kentucky Derby is the longest continually held sporting event in America, and it is one of the most prestigious horse races in the world. It has a rich tradition of fancy dress, specialty food, and of course, horse-racing. Celebrate the Run for the Roses by making a traditional “Fascinator” hat to wear while you view clips of the greatest two minutes in sports, sip Mint Juleps (non-alcoholic) and enjoy other refreshments. Explore horse riding gear provided by Tiny Voice Therapy Services of Elburn, play games including a children’s obstacle course, “place your bets” to win a raffle prize, and get your photo taken in the winner’s circle! Dressing up for a day at the races is encouraged for this program. This all-ages event is sponsored by the Friends of the Library and is part of the America 250 initiative: celebrating our nation throughout the year. No registration is required.
