OWENSBORO, KY (WFIE) -

The Owensboro Symphony Alliance is making sure everyone gets a chance to celebrate the Kentucky Derby this year.

If you don't have plans you can head over to the Juleps and Jockeys party.  

This annual event is a great way to celebrate the Kentucky Derby if you can't make it to Church Hill Downs this weekend.

If you've never been to Juleps and Jockey's here's a look at what you can expect.

Some ladies go all out and show up in full dress, decorative hats and dresses and some even dress up as a jockey.

You'll be able to watch the races on two big screens, enjoy dinner, bid on silent and live auction items as well.

Organizers say not only will you be able to celebrate a Kentucky tradition, you're supporting the symphony the money raised Saturday goes right back into their programs.

It's not too late to get tickets for this.  Tickets are $45.

To ensure you get a ticket you can reserve yours by calling 270-684-0661 or pay at the door.

The party starts at 4 on Saturday at the Hines Center.
