Join the Young Affiliates of the Mint Museum for Derby Days on Saturday, May 2 (3:00–8:00 PM) on the lawn at The Mint Museum Randolph—an afternoon of live music, lawn games, and big-screen viewing of the Kentucky Derby, with plenty of Southern-inspired style and social connection. Named “Best Party for Young Professionals” by the Charlotte Observer and Society Charlotte Magazine.

Derby Days is a signature fundraiser that supports the Mint Museum’s mission to make art accessible, inclusive, and inspiring for all. Attendance and donations directly support exhibitions, education initiatives, and community engagement programs, helping expand youth access to art through tours and educational opportunities and strengthening Charlotte’s cultural landscape.

This event is exclusively for patrons 21 years of age or older.
