Be the Belle of the Derby

The Kentucky Derby is more than a century old, and the Kentucky Derby hat is a proud tradition that’s every bit as old as the famous race itself. On Derby Day, everyone becomes a traditional southerner and that means it’s okay to wear a beautiful, bold hat. Whether it’s big and floppy or a petite fascinator, a Derby hat is always a must-have accessory.

Get great ideas for yours at CityPlace in LaGrange. Michaels Crafts will present beautifully-made Derby and Oaks hats that are ready to wear.

The AcaBelles will perform in the morning.

A Derby Affair is a fun, festival atmosphere with plenty of shopping. It’s free to attend, so you can browse the day away if you like. Be at 112 S. 2st Avenue from 10:30 am to 3:30 pm to enjoy the whole event and still have time to explore a little bit more of LaGrange.
