Get ready for the ultimate fusion of festivity as Cinco de Derby takes over 30Avenue in Inlet Beach on Saturday, May 3, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m., bringing with it a one-of-a-kind celebration that combines the southern charm of the Kentucky Derby with the vibrant flair of Cinco de Mayo. It’s a collision of tradition and tropical party vibes, and it’s all happening just steps from the Gulf.

Guests will sip classic mint juleps and bold margaritas, dressed to the nines in their most festive Derby attire. Think big hats, bright colors, and bold fashion moments made for the Florida sun.

The celebration promises more than just cocktails and racing – the event features a Big Hat Contest and a piñata-smash fiesta for partygoers ready to take things up a notch.

Fuel up with Kentucky-style Hot Browns and zesty tacos, snap a few winning moments at the festive photo booth, and soak up the good vibes—it’s all free and open to the public.

Whether you’re there to cheer on your favorite horse or just in it for the drinks, the music, and the memory-making, Cinco de Derby at 30Avenue is where you’ll want to be. It’s a fresh spin on two beloved traditions, brought together in a setting that feels equal parts upscale and beachy.

Mint juleps or margaritas? Why not both.
