The Derby Rose Gala fills Louisville's The Gillespie—built as a bank in 1929 and today hosting events with its Art Deco splendor still intact—on Friday, May 3, from 8 p.m. until 2 a.m. In two sets throughout the night, Kirby's Dreamland unleashes crowd-pleasing renditions of music ranging from Van Morrison to Sublime. The live hits are interspersed with sets by old-school turntable artist DJ Q and house specialist DJ Buck Rodgers, who will keep the party dancing into the wee hours. A portion of the event's proceeds will benefit FEAT of Louisville, an organization that supports programs for autism treatment.
The Derby Rose Gala
