The Irish Derby Festival
For three days in June each year The Curragh, in the "Horse County" of Kildare, is the only place to be in Ireland for the world renowned Irish Derby Festival. Starting on Friday 26th June with a competitive evening meeting and party night, moving swiftly to Saturday 27th June for the pinnicle of the Irish Race Season, The Dubai Duty Free Irish Derby day, the premier classic race of the season in Ireland. Concluding with a fabulous Sunday 28th June race card peppered with grade 1, 2 and 3 races (my favourite race day of the season at The Curragh). Three fabulous days where International Trainers and Jockeys and Equine Superstars come to settle scores and confirm their reputations. World Class Racing, Gourmet Food, Stunning Fashion and top quality entertainment ensure that this iconic race meeting delivers the ultimate race fan experience at the best racecourse in the world.
