Shepherd Insurance Great Steamboat Race
The field is changing for the Shepherd Insurance Great Steamboat Race. Hometown favorite, the Belle of Louisville, has scratched. Unfortunately, a leak in an internal bulkhead seam on the Belle of Louisville was found during the final inspections for the event.

- Open bar including the signature Steamboat Race cocktail the “Derby Sunrise”
- Brough Brothers Bourbon Tastings
- Casamigos Tequila Tastings
- Grab and go meal box
- Live Entertainment by Soul Kitchen
- A Silent Disco
- Keepsake digital photos
