Join over 500 professionals at Flame Run Glass Studio for one of the hottest Derby Eve parties in the city. The Derby Hot 100 party takes place on Friday May 6, 2011 and touts one hot event you won't regret.
Derby Week is marked by an impressive slate of extremely festive social events ranging from campouts like the Hillbilly Infield, to the most celebrated party of them all, the Barnstable Brown Gala.
