This is new for 2025!  We will be honoring the Fillies and have an Oaks Evening at the Richwood.  This has been a private event for house guest and sponsors in the past - but now it is open to the public!  Some like this better than Derby day, as both are very unique.  The evening is more causal as boots, jeans and a jacket would be appropriate. It includes open bar and a catered Hors d'oeuvres bar that will feature beef tenderloin, shrimp, chicken and waffles, Kentucky Hot Brown with desserts. Ticket includes evening events, seating, dinner, and open bar. 


AR Cash along with Blair Carman and Anthony Ray Wright will kick off the weekend.  Doors open at 5PM.

By supporting M3, you're helping to promote and grow Madison’s music scene as a driving force for economic development. Together, we’re working to make Madison Indiana’s very own Music City!
