FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Santa Clarita, California — April 27, 2026
GlowHouse Events is bringing back its signature Derby Day experience, Talk Derby To Me, on May 2, 2026 at Sand Canyon Country Club in Santa Clarita, California.
Now in its third year, the event has evolved into one of the most anticipated curated gatherings in the region — drawing more than 250 professionals, business owners, creatives, and community leaders into a single, high-energy environment.
VIP tables are sold out.
This is not a traditional Derby watch party.
It’s a room designed for visibility, interaction, and presence — where guests don’t just attend, they actively shape the experience.
A Room Designed for Attention
From arrival to close, the event is built to create momentum and moments:
– live arrival experience and music
– curated cocktails, elevated dining, and table service
– interactive environments and social activations
– live Kentucky Derby viewing as a shared focal point
– fashion-driven competition moments
– DJ-driven close
Every element is designed for both in-room engagement and content beyond it.
Introducing the CAREGD
Check-In Lounge
New this year, GlowHouse introduces the Check-In Lounge, powered by Diamond Sponsor CAREGD.
Positioned within the flow of the event, the lounge creates a distinct shift in energy — offering a space for more intentional interaction inside an otherwise high-movement environment.
In a room built for attention, it creates something rare:
A moment where people actually connect.
A Platform for Brands That Want More Than Visibility
GlowHouse continues to build environments where brands aren’t just seen — they’re experienced.
Partners gain:
– direct access to a curated audience
– integration into the event flow
– alignment with a culturally relevant environment
This is not passive exposure.
It’s positioned presence.
Founder Perspective
“Talk Derby To Me started as an idea to create something that felt like us — elevated, social, and intentional,” said Marcell Gordon, creator of the experience. “Now it’s grown into a space where people show up to be seen, connect, and be part of something bigger than just an event.”
“We’re building experiences people step into, not just attend,” added Shawndrell Lynch, Executive Producer of GlowHouse Events. “That’s why it continues to grow.”
