Derby Day And Food Trucks: 18 Things To Do In South Jersey

Here's a list of upcoming events across the region courtesy of our friends at Visit South Jersey, the official Destination Marketing Organization for Burlington, Camden, Gloucester and Salem counties, and the Outer Coast Plain Wine Region in South Jersey.

Down and Derby Wine Weekend
May 1st - 2nd | Times Vary
Visit South Jersey
Visit South Jersey, in partnership with The Camden County Board of Commissioners and Audacy, invites you to Down and Derby Wine Weekend from May 1-2, 2021. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the popular Down and Derby Wine Festival will not be held this year, but that’s not stopping us from celebrating the Kentucky Derby and our region’s award-wining wine!
This year, we invite festival goers to put on their best derby outfits, and make reservations at one of our participating wineries to celebrate the race. The goal is to support our wonderful wine region, while keeping the Down and Derby event top of mind to come back strong in 2022. Please make your reservations directly with each winery (Guests must follow proper COVID-10 protocol established per location. Limited reservations will be available at each winery).
Not able to visit a winery during the weekend? Place an order of your favorite wines and have them delivered to your home – you can still put on your derby outfit and hashtag us to win prizes!
