The General Morgan Inn and a dedicated committee of community leaders are thrilled to announce the return of Derby Day on Main, a signature springtime fundraiser supporting Second Harvest Food Bank of Northeast Tennessee. The event will be held on Saturday, May 3rd at 5:00 PM on the Rooftop Garden Terrace (weather permitting).

Derby Day on Main is more than just a celebration of Southern tradition and Derby flair — it’s a direct response to an urgent local need. In Greeneville and Greene County, 1 in 4 children face food insecurity, representing a hunger rate of 22%. This event helps fight that statistic head-on.

Last year, generous attendees raised over $31,000, helping Second Harvest feed children across the region. Every ticket sold this year will support one child for an entire year.

Ticket Information:

  • Individual tickets: $100
  • Sponsorship opportunities:
    • Event Sponsor – $5,000
    • Winner’s Circle – $2,500
    • Place – $1,500

The evening includes:

  • Live broadcast of the Kentucky Derby on big screens
  • Heavy hors d’oeuvres
  • A silent auction
  • Live music by the Greeneville Swing Band, followed by a high-energy closing band
  • The best rooftop party south of Louisville!

This event is organized by a passionate planning committee including Mona Binkley, Patricia Bohon, Jessy Boswell, Traci Dolese, Jennifer Gass, Sharon Hopson, Pam Johnson, Dee McAfee, Brenda Robinette, Ashley Rodgers, Cindy Strange, Betty Weems, and Karen White.

Let’s make 2025 our most impactful Derby Day yet.
