ABOUT KDF4ABOUT KDFFor 59 years, the Festival has brought a spirit that is unmatched anywhere.It has stretched the legendary “two minutes” into a month-long celebration.What the Run for the Roses is to horse racing, the Kentucky Derby Festival isto the community celebrations. It is one of the world’s premiere events.The Festival is a private, not-for-profit organization. Founded in 1956 ona budget of 640 with one event – the Pegasus Parade – the annual civiccelebration is now nearly 70 events and has a budget of 6 million.Attendance at Kentucky Derby Festival events exceeds 1.5 million annually.Two-thirds of the events are free to the public, or free to Pegasus Sponsorswearing a plastic souvenir pin called a “Pegasus Pin.” (2014 is the 42ndyear for the pin).The Kentucky Derby Festival operates under the direction of a 75-memberBoard of Directors and a full-time staff of 23. More than 4,000 volunteersare utilized to organize and produce the Festival’s nearly 70 events.The 501 (C) 4 Festival raises all its funds privately. TheFestival receives no tax dollars for event production.It is a self-sustaining business with its entire annualbudget derived from corporate sponsorships, PegasusPin and merchandise sales, concessions proceeds,event ticket sales and entry fees.The Festival works in harmony with other local organizations and agencies.The support of government and civic groups is an invaluable asset in theproduction of each Kentucky Derby Festival, from Thunder Over Louisville tothe Republic Bank Pegasus Parade.The Kentucky Derby Festival represents the spirit and pride of thecommunity and showcases Louisville at its best.

IN THE INTERESTOF ACCURACYIT’S REALLY NOT A “COMMITTEE.”Though the Kentucky Derby Festival celebrates the tradition of the Kentucky Derbyand more, it is not directly affiliated with the horse race and is a separate entityfrom Churchill Downs. References to the Festival, the events and merchandise shouldinclude the words “Kentucky Derby Festival” or “Festival” to be accurate (e.g.,Kentucky Derby Festival Great Steamboat Race or Kentucky Derby Festival Poster.)The Festival was founded in 1956 as a completely volunteer organization. It is nowoverseen by a Board of Directors and a professional, full-time-staff.The organization is “Kentucky Derby Festival, Inc.” Though 4,000 volunteersserve on various committees to help produce the events, referring to the entireorganization as the “Kentucky Derby Festival Committee” is an antiquatedreference and does not accurately reflect the modern day Kentucky DerbyFestival. The name, and a number of the event names, are registered with theCommonwealth of Kentucky and the United States Patent and Trademark Office.NOTE: Not all events that exist in the city during “Derby” time are affiliated withthe not-for-profit Kentucky Derby Festival. Referring to any event that is not onthe Festival schedule as a “Kentucky Derby Festival” event or using the Festivallogo in a story with it is inaccurate and misleading to the public. Please refer to thisguide if there is a question of Kentucky Derby Festival affiliation.KENTUCKY DERBYFESTIVAL MISSIONBRINGING THE COMMUNITYTOGETHER IN CELEBRATION.To provide creative and unique entertainment and community service for thepeople of Greater Louisville, that directly contributes to the aesthetic, cultural,educational, charitable and economic development of the area.5ABOUT KDF
