Spring Racing Carnival

THE BIGGEST RACE FESTIVAL IN AUSTRALIA, THE SPRING RACING CARNIVAL BRINGS TOGETHER THE BEST OF BOTH INTERNATIONAL AND AUSTRALIAN THOROUGHBREDS FOR 50 DAYS OF HORSE RACING. THE SPRING CARNIVAL SEES AUSTRALIA’S FINEST, AS WELL AS MANY VISITING INTERNATIONALS FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE FLOCK TO TRACKS TO CELEBRATE IN STYLE.

WORDS RACHEL STEVENSON

THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE CELEBRATION is the four-day Melbourne Cup Carnival, with the whole of the races bringing a carnival-like vibe to the city, creating a party atmosphere that injects a fun, vibrant feel into Melbourne, with punters and racers alike reveling in the worldclass entertainment including the finest racing, fashion, culture, food and drinks.

A fun atmosphere, unparalleled at any other event in the Australian sporting diary, no race day would be complete without the dresses, the hats and of course, the Champagne. Celebrate a win or toast to a race with a bottle of bubbles: the perfect addition to a fun day out at the races.

This year, take your friends and family, dress up to the nines and head to the track for a day of fun, laughter, bubbles and racing. Get swept up in the celebrations that captivate the nation. Bask in the glamour, take in the sights, laugh and celebrate the horses and races, , with a glass of Champagne in hand.

Spring racing carnival is an unmissable social occasion that epitomises Australian culture, both a cultural and sporting event that draws spectators from far and wide. One that can only be toasted with Champagne. ❧
