Attention, Pretty Girls…

We’ve received your emails and DMs about 2028… and trust us, we’re preparing something special for you…

In 2016, you lit up 200 Peachtree — 2,000 strong, glowing in pink and green, filling the room with a kind of magic only you can create.

You brought the elegance…
You brought the grace…
We brought the night that became Phirst Pham legend..

And in Summer 2028, as you return to the city, the Alphas of Atlanta — the same committee that’s delivered 12 years of #AlphaDerbyWeekend — are ready to welcome you back the way only your brothers can.

We’re rolling out the pink and green carpet and expecting a city covered in Ivy as we craft a celebration inspired by Lyle Love, Southern hospitality, and a bond more than a century old.

This won’t just be a party.
It’ll be a homecoming.
A reunion.
With your brothers hosting it all.

Summer 2028.

In and of itself, the @alpha_derby via the @alphasofatlanta is a top-notch event, as this year (April 30-May 3, 2026) marks its 11th year.

However, beyond the pageantry is the purpose behind the event.

This summer, the foundation expands its grant program to provide support for fellow nonprofits for their community focused programming. Ranging from education-based endeavors, mentoring, health and wellness, along with enrichment initiatives, their signature event helps leave a larger footprint in communities across the Metro-Atlanta area.

To learn more (including information on the grantees), make sure to read our article. Likewise, keep the 2027 edition of the #AlphaDerbyWeekend in mind (the dates are April 29-May 2, 2026) and be a part of the #WinnersCircle 🏇🏆📚
