Derby fans, get ready to shop! The Kentucky Derby Festival’s Annual Sale is back this Friday, June 13, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Festival headquarters (1001 South Third Street in Old Louisville).

For one day only, you can grab big discounts on official 2025 Derby Festival merchandise, collectibles, and hard-to-find items. Expect to see glassware, clothes, and, of course, Pegasus Pins.

Pin collectors will want to check out the Pin Wagon outside, stocked with plastic and metal pins from 1973 to 2025. Inside the Festival Office, the Pin Room will have balloon, event, and corporate pins at sale prices. You can also get a special 2025 Exchange Pin set while supplies last.

Organizers expect a crowd, so come early for the best picks. Both cash and cards are accepted, but keep in mind: all sales are final, and you’ll need to take your items with you that day. The event will happen rain or shine.

Now celebrating its 70th year, the Kentucky Derby Festival is a Louisville favorite, drawing over 1.5 million people each spring to more than 70 events.
