A tasty spectacle is returning to Derby City for its 13th year. The Gravy Cup is back this Saturday, Feb. 28, a family-friendly contest to find the best biscuits + gravy in town.
The world’s largest event of its kind takes place at Slugger Field from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., and tickets cost $35, with proceeds benefiting Boys & Girls Haven.
Admission gets you access to the delicious offerings of 30+ professional chefs and home cooks from the area, all vying for the crown in three categories: traditional, non-traditional, and vegetarian/vegan.
We recommend dropping the event a follow on Instagram to prepare for the flavorful festivities.

There are 13 days until the clocks move forward for daylight saving time. Can you believe it? That means a few things: spring is on its way, the sun is setting later, and summer will be here before we know it.
A picnic awaits — plan out which local park you’d like to frequent for the occasion. Here are a few we’ll be bringing our blanket and basket to:
Cherokee Park
Characterized by long winding roads that open to beautiful vistas and large open spaces, Cherokee Park has areas for fishing, grilling, archery, sledding, and more.
Iroquois Park
The two main features of Iroquois Park’s 725+ acres are the amphitheater that seats more than 2,000 people and the North Overlook, which boasts a meandering, wheelchair-accessible path that overlooks downtown Louisville and the Indiana Knobs.
