The most famous horse race of the year takes place on Saturday, and it’s time
to place your bets. Our safest pick? A party. Can’t make it to Louisville
and the famed Barnstable Brown celebrity bash? Some of our favorite events
around the Run for the Roses are listed below.

**Derby Day at Sea Island

**Sea Island, the Forbes Five-Star resort on the southeastern coast of
Georgia, is joining in the Derby celebrations with their own package for
resort guests. The resort’s 11th Annual Derby Day Party will include a viewing
party of the Derby along with a silent and live auction, hat parade, live
music and dancing under the stars. In addition to celebrating this Saturday,
Sea Island is also hosting a pre-party on Friday night with a casual evening
of corn hole games, potato sack races, bocce ball, horses and jockeys to greet
everyone and a bourbon tasting. Stay overnight and the weekend ($1,400)
includes a Cloister River View Room (with upgrade if available), access to
parties Friday and Saturday, a $100 experience credit per person and a welcome
amenity.
