Most People Don't Know Delaware Has Its Own Little Derby Day And It's Amazing

Guests have fun in their most dapper clothes, replicating the first-class crowds at the Kentucky Derby the previous day.

Tailgate parking spaces put you right in the action, and though it's a bit of a luxury (up to $250 for the best spaces), it's certainly a once-in-a-lifetime event! Plan a tailgate party at Winterthur with friends to make it more affordable.

General admission wristbands include access to every race-day activity, free parking, and access to the infield for picnicking! You can go all-out for your infield picnic and make it a big family event. You can buy tickets online or by phone at 800.448.3883. Online Sales close on 4/28, so hurry up and order your wristband! Tickets are cheaper when you order early - you're not too late for the $30 adult general admission (March 1–April 28). After the 28th, the cost goes up to for $50 adult general admission. If you're under 21, your ticket only costs $15, and kids under 12 can get in for free! They still need a wristband prior to race day.

There are point to point steeplechase races with some of the top equine athletes in the country! Get up close to galloping hooves and howling hounds for the hunt race, too.

They'll gallop along at top speed towards solid objects. These jockeys are a little bit insane!

The youngest jockeys pilot their pint-sized mounts through the fields of Winterthur in the cutest Point-to-Point day races.

You'll feel like you've been whisked away to a land before cars ran the world.

Every year, it's an amazing collection of vintage automobiles. Winterthur's Point-to-Point is an event straight out of Jay Gatsby's book!
