Kentucky Derby Festival: 50 Years of Fun contains nearly 200 glorious pages celebrating the Kentucky Derby Festival.  It all began in 1956 with one event - the Pegasus Parade - and a budget of only $640.  Today the Kentucky Derby Festival produces more than 70 events over a two-week period, delivering an annual economic impact to Louisville of more than $95 million. 

The Kentucky Derby Festival’s remarkable success story is now captured in this 50^th Celebration volume containing hundreds of gorgeous color photographs, vintage snapshots, and the vivid recollections of dozens of people who have worked with the Kentucky Derby Festival over its 50-year history.

Regular Edition, $29.95 Collector's Edition $85

The Kentucky Derby Festival:  50 Years of Fun is a beautifully manufactured book - deep, rich color printing on premium glossy paper, sewn and cased into heavy library-cloth hard covers and wrapped with a glossy, full-color dust jacket.  It is being produced in two editions - a Regular Edition and a Collector’s Edition.  Both are true keepsake volumes which you will be eager to read and proud to display in your home or office for many years to come.

For those who appreciate fine books and Kentucky Derby Festival collectibles, we are offering a special Collector’s Edition - signed and numbered, bound in linen and leather, and presented in a handsome, linen-covered, hinged presentation box.  Each Collector’s Edition volume will include a bonus gift-a beautifully crafted 50^th Celebration book festival pin, available only to those who purchase the Collector’s Edition or one of the special pin collector sets that will be offered by the Kentucky Derby Festival.
