One of the most iconic luxury events in the United States now has an equally luxurious and iconic brand as a partner this year, and it’s BMW. With this partnership, BMW becomes the first luxury automotive brand to officially partner with the Kentucky Derby, and through this partnership, the brand plans to turn the most exciting 2 minutes in sports into a long-lasting collaboration between two loved icons.

At the official BMW macaron bar, guests will be able to customize and curate their own macaron flavors and fillings. With BMW by its side, the Kentucky Derby is quite the event, in both the equestrian and automotive worlds.
