If you can’t be at Churchill Downs for the big race, why not celebrate it in your own home with a Kentucky Derby party? We’ve rounded up everything you need to know about the annual horse race and what you need for the perfect watch party.

A reminder: The 149th Kentucky Derby is this weekend on Saturday, May 6. The horses will be off to the races at 6:57 P.M. EST in front of what’s expected to be a massive crowd.
