Mini derby brings entertainment to Denver

Denver residents who are seeking a memorable way to enjoy the Kentucky Derby in town will want to save the date, as a mini event is coming to town.

The 2026 Denver Mini Derby is coming to Denver this May, and horse racing fans and community members who want to experience something new will want to attend. The Mini Derby will feature live mini horse and corgi races, live music, and a big screen to watch the Kentucky Derby unfold at Churchill Downs.

Organizers are aiming to provide an event that blends southern charm and comfort with Rocky Mountain energy. The event venue will feature a large screen that allows guests to watch all the events, including the Race for the Roses. After the Kentucky Derby ends, all eyes will turn to the mini races, allowing the miniature horses to stretch their legs. Banner printing can provide a cost-effective path toward promotion for event sponsors while also adding to the finish line.

In addition to the races, attendees can enjoy music from live bands and DJs. Local restaurants will attend with BBQ and other gourmet options on the menu. The venue will also feature an open bar.

The Denargo Market in downtown Denver will be hosting the Denver Mini Derby. It’s scheduled for Saturday, May 2nd, from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm. Tickets start at $107.19 online.
