Louisvillians are invited to an unforgettable late-night celebration for the Kentucky Derby Museum’s 40th Anniversary Ruby Jubilee. And this isn’t just any Derby event — it’s the afterparty everyone will be talking about.

Presented by Derby City Gaming, the KDM Ruby Jubilee Backstretch Afterparty, happening on Friday, April 25 at 9 p.m., supports the nonprofit museum’s mission of funding free field trips, immersive exhibits, and new programs that keep Derby history alive.

Under a dazzling ruby glow, the museum will transform into a high-energy party featuring live music, craft cocktails, late-night bites, and a cigar bar because the fun doesn’t stop at the finish line.

Raise a glass, hit the dance floor, and be part of this unforgettable Derby celebration. Rubies may be optional, but white or black tie is required.

Get ready to sip, dance, and celebrate where Derby magic meets late-night glamour. Secure your spot — this is one party you won’t want to miss.
