LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) – You may not be able to wear white after Labor Day, but this year’s Kentucky Derby will offer fashionistas one final chance to put together their freshest ivory outfits.

Multiple sources confirmed to WAVE 3 News on Monday that the 146th Run For The Roses will take place on Sept. 5, the Saturday of Labor Day weekend, normally known to sports fans as the official start of the college football season.

The world’s most famous horse race was pushed back four months over coronavirus fears, setting up a holiday weekend for the ages around Louisville.

It will be just the third time that the world’s most famous horse race will take place outside of the month of May. It was run once on April 29, 1901, and June 9, 1945. Since 1946, the Kentucky Derby has taken place every year on the first Saturday in May.
