Saturday, May 3 | 11AM–3PM

Fort Worth, get ready— The Kentucky Derby is taking over Emilia’s, The Circle Bar, and our patio for a high-spirited, fashion-forward celebration. With live music, chef-curated displays, whisky tasting, and the Kentucky Derby broadcast live, this is more than brunch—it’s the party of the season.

Celebrate in true Southern style with bold, seasonal bites like Mini Biscuits with Benton’s Country Ham, Buttermilk Fried Chicken with Avocado Green Goddess, and East Coast Oysters with Pomegranate Mignonette. Don’t miss sweet finishes like Woodford Bourbon Pecan Pies, Banana Pudding with Nilla Wafers, and Grilled Peach Cobbler with Brown Butter Crumble.

Sip on Mint Juleps and Oaks Lily cocktails while mixing and mingling through every corner of the space. Woodford Reserve joins the celebration as our official sponsor, offering exclusive beverage specials and hosting a Best Hat Contest—with a grand prize of an overnight stay at The Crescent Hotel, a 2025 Woodford Reserve Derby bottle, and dinner for two at Emilia’s.

Put on your Derby best and join us for an unforgettable afternoon of flavor, fashion, and fun.

Tickets are $100 per person, including brunch, a welcome glass of champagne and one Mint Julep. Additional cocktails available for purchase.
