Day At The Races
The 17th Annual Day at the Races presented by TRUIST Bank will take place on Saturday, May 3, 2025! Dallas’ original Derby Party is the signature fundraiser of the Turtle Creek Conservancy and this year’s event will not disappoint. Guests will enjoy Mint Juleps, Southern-inspired cuisine, an open bar, live music and dancing. A VIP reception for guests to experience an array of drinks and pre-dinner treats will begin the festivities.
The “wagering wall” will again be present as participants gather to watch the fastest 2 minutes in sports on the BIG SCREEN – the Kentucky Derby! A live auction will precede the race.
We hope to see you there as this year’s event will be memorable!
Day at the Races tickets are non-refundable.
