How Do You Get A Custom Hat For The Kentucky Derby?
The Kentucky Derby is a celebrated part of horse racing’s distinguished Triple Crown. As horse-racing tradition dictates, women honor the gravity of the event by donning large and fantastical hats. You can join in the fun when you get a custom-made hat to wear to the race. Visit the Kentucky Derby Museum to see the hats that have won the annual hat competition. The exhibit is located in the first exhibition hall, which is near Gate 1 of Churchill Downs. Take a trip to the annual Hat Parade. The Hat Parade is held on the first Saturday in May. Women don their hats and mill around the field at Churchill Downs and in the Clubhouse and Paddock areas. The most outlandish hats are usually seen on the field. Check out a huge variety of Kentucky Derby hats on display at the Courier-Journal of Kentucky website (see Resources below). Feathered, veiled and gravity-defying hats are all available for you to see. Look for a milliner to make your Kentucky Derby hat at ApparelSearch.com (see Resources
