Derby Day 2025 is within sight! This award-winning annual gala is the major fundraising effort of the Brazos Valley Symphony Society, a non-profit organization that supports and maintains the high artistic standards of the Brazos Valley Symphony Orchestra. The Society promotes cultural and music education opportunities for our community and our children. Proceeds from the evening support the Symphony and help make possible the many concerts and children’s programs available to the Brazos Valley community.

This year, we are honored to recognize Stephanie Sale and Jim Singleton for founding BVSO's Derby Day, their unwavering dedication to its success over the years, and their profound impact on both the Symphony and this cherished event.

Come see the Kentucky Derby, broadcast live from Churchill Downs at our exciting new location. This year’s event will be held at the stunning Marine One/4141 Locomotive Pavilion, located at the George H.W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum. Join us on Saturday, May 3, 2025. The starting gates open at 5:00 pm for pre-race activities leading up to the “greatest two minutes in sports,” exciting Live Auction experiences, our renowned Derby Day Hat Parade, exquisite cuisine catered by Chef Tai, exceptional live music entertainment by Karan Chavis, and an exhilarating viewing of the Kentucky Derby, broadcast live from Churchill Downs.
