The Kentucky Derby is slated for May 1.
Don’t know about you, but we nearly forgot the Kentucky Derby was a thing.
The 147-year-old horse racing event was postponed last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but the 2021 festivities are expected to occur on the horse race's traditional date of the first Saturday in May. (So, you don't have to check your calendars, that's Saturday, May 1.)
No shortage of Alamo City bars and restaurants are likely loading up on mint to make sure they’re prepared to crank out the event's traditional sipper, the Mint Julep. But at least three are going all out to celebrate “The Greatest Two Minutes in Sports.”
