Derby Day on Main 2025

Derby Day on Main is an annual fundraising event hosted by Second Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Tennessee, dedicated to combating childhood hunger in Greeneville and Greene County. The event is traditionally held at the General Morgan Inn in Greeneville, Tennessee, coinciding with the Kentucky Derby.

The festivities typically include a live broadcast of the Kentucky Derby, various hors d'oeuvres, music, themed games, and contests such as best hat and best-dressed awards. Proceeds from the event support Second Harvest's child hunger programs, including summer feeding initiatives that provide meals to food-insecure children in the community. For instance, the 2024 Derby Day on Main raised $31,000 for these programs.

The upcoming Derby Day on Main is scheduled for May 3, 2025, at the General Morgan Inn. While specific details are forthcoming, the event is expected to continue its tradition of supporting local children facing food insecurity.

By participating in Derby Day on Main, attendees contribute to Second Harvest's mission to alleviate hunger and enhance the well-being of children in Northeast Tennessee.
