Coopers Kangaroo Island Cup Carnival Friday 13 - Sunday 15 February 2015
The race that stops an Island! The Coopers Kangaroo Island Cup Carnival is the largest annual event on the Island, featuring three days of non-stop fashion, live entertainment, local food and wine, and of course top quality racing - all just a short drive from some of Australia’s most remarkable natural wonders. Tickle your tastebuds with the best produce the region's Kangaroo Island has to offer and savour the excitement of live racing with two TAB race days on Friday and Sunday (Cup Day). Saturday afternoon enjoy the beautiful
surroundings of the Dudley Winery at the first 'Punter's Intermission' then kick on at the Ozone Hotel’s Twilight Street Party Saturday night. Pre-Cup Champagne Breakfast on the Sunday morning provides the perfect interlude. It’s only a short 45-minute Sealink ferry trip away from the mainland and with a spot in the Fashion at The Races State Final at stake, there’s no better excuse to explore Australia’s third largest island.

Explore the Island
Where to stay
Kangaroo Island more than earns its ranking as Australia’s fourth major tourism icon. You simply can’t beat its wildlife and wilderness. Kangaroo Island (‘KI’ to the locals) is a short flight from Adelaide or a ferry ride from Cape Jervis. There’s so much to do on this island. Explore untouched bushland, fish on pristine beaches, see the wildlife, go on an eco tour or relax and enjoy some of the beautiful local food and wine. Treat yourself to a long weekend and check out the other natural wonders of Kangaroo Island while you’re here. From Seal Bay to the Ligurian Bee Honey Farm and fishing, sip some award winning Dudley Wines along the way. There are plenty of surprising places on wild and welcoming Kangaroo Island to see.
