The Garden Party & Kentucky Derby at Andalusia

Celebrate Andalusia and the Kentucky Derby at the annual Garden Party! You’ll enjoy cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and our internationally recognized gardens, then gather to watch “The Run for the Roses.” Andalusia is the best place to watch the Kentucky Derby in the Philadelphia area.
