Last Saturday, I attended my first Derby Fest at Sam Houston Race Park and now I understand the excitement.
As an etiquette professional, I naturally pay attention to presence, interaction, and how people carry themselves in different spaces. What stood out most to me wasn’t just the style—it was the confidence, connection, and intentionality people brought into the environment.
Derby Fest reminded me that etiquette isn’t about perfection or being overly formal. It’s about how we show up, engage with others, and create meaningful experiences.
I truly enjoyed myself and left inspired, grateful, and already looking forward to experiencing it again. 🐎
