Day At The Races

The 16th Annual Day at the Races is the place to be on Saturday, May 4th! 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, open bar, live music and dancing. A VIP reception will allow guests to experience an array of drinks and pre-dinner treats.

The “wagering wall” will again be available with an upgraded live auction in the works! Participants will gather to watch the big screen and experience the fastest two minutes in sports – the Kentucky Derby!

We are working now to secure sponsors and underwriters. Please consider supporting this festive fundraising event for Turtle Creek Park Conservancy!
