There are Kentucky Derby parties and then there's the Barnstable Brown Derby Eve Gala.
For the past three decades, a pair of sisters - Patricia Barnstable Brown and Pricilla Barnstable - have been putting together the bash to end all other Kentucky Derby bashes, attracting athletes, musicians, and this year, the richest man in the world.
The party annually raises millions of dollars for diabetes research, and Condé Nast has reportedly put it on the top 10 parties in the world list.
