Join us at Pup Social for our Kentucky Derby Social, an afternoon inspired by the most fashionable day in racing. This event brings together pups and their humans for a lively celebration filled with style, community, and classic Derby traditions. 

Guests are encouraged to dress to impress alongside their pups, embracing bold colors, statement looks, and of course, iconic Derby hats. Whether you go classic or creative, this is your chance to show off your style and be part of a spirited, high-energy social experience. 

Throughout the event, guests can enjoy a curated 90min bourbon tasting while pups socialize in the off-leash park. Our interactive hat bar will give you the opportunity to customize your own Derby-ready look, making sure you and your pup are dressed for the occasion. 

We’ll also be hosting our Best Dressed contests, where both pups and their humans can compete for prizes and recognition. It’s all about celebrating personality, creativity, and the fun of showing up in style.

  • Hat Bar Experience to customize your Derby look 

  • Bourbon Tasting for guests  

  • Entry into Best Dressed Pup Contest 

  • Entry into Best Dressed Human + Pup Duo Contest
