About the Event

Giddy up and get glam—join us for Juleps & Jockeys, our first annual Kentucky Derby viewing party! We’re bringing Churchill Downs to the heart of San Diego with big hats, bold fashion, bourbon bliss, and Derby Day fun.

Live Coverage:
Catch all the racing action on 3 big-screen TVs set up throughout Sally’s courtyard, so you won’t miss a second of the excitement.

Derby Drink Specials:
Enjoy a refreshing line-up of $3 Woodford Reserve Mint Juleps, plus fan-favorite classics like the Old Fashioned and the Whiskey Smash, all served from our mobile bar—shaken and stirred by Sally’s finest bartender.

Giveaways & Contests (Presented by Woodford Reserve):
We’re turning up the Southern charm with giveaways, Derby swag, and some friendly fashion competition. Come dressed to impress for a chance to win fabulous prizes in the following categories:
Best Hat – Woman
Best Hat – Man
Best Dressed – Woman
Best Dressed – Man
Best Dressed Couple
Pick the Winning Horse

Strike a Pose:
Snap a selfie or boomerang at our Derby-style step and repeat, and don’t forget to tag us for a chance to win exclusive hotel giveaways (because every great race deserves a great return).

Derby Day Bites:
Fuel up with festive food offerings perfect for pairing with a julep—or two.

3 hours of validated parking when you park in Grand Hyatt San Diego’s self-parking garage.
