Kentucky Derby Party at Huey’s at Wild Dunes

Derby Day is coming to the Lowcountry on Saturday, May 3rd at Huey’s as Wild Dunes Resort is transforming into a spirited Southern soiree, offering a front-row seat to Kentucky Derby festivities, beachside style.

In collaboration with Woodford Reserve, the celebration takes place from 4:30 to 7:30 PM, with a bourbon tasting at 5 PM, accompanied by bites and a curated cocktail menu that captures the essence of the Derby. Standout sips include the Dark Horse Margarita, blending Herradura Reposado with Charred Orange Curaçao and Dunes Citrus Mix; the Golden Derby, a refreshing twist with Vodka or Woodford Rye, Grapefruit, and Honey; and the Triple Crown Julep, a bold take on a classic with Woodford Reserve, three kinds of mint, and aromatic bitters. For those skipping the spirits, non-alcoholic options will also be available.

Guests are invited to arrive in their Derby best for a chance to win prizes in the “Best Hat” and “Best Dressed” contests. Tickets are not required, however, reservations are strongly recommended. The event is free to enter.
