The Adelaide Cup Long Weekend. We all know it, but have you actually experienced all the action of the Adelaide Cup itself recently?
For those uninitiated, the Cup is held on the Monday of the long weekend, and the day includes an amazing blend of fashion, racing, activations, entertainment, food, and drinks just waiting to be explored. Best of all, there’s plenty of value included in the general admission experience.
The Starting Gate on the Derby Lawns is the hub for all things entertainment including a view of the track and big screens to catch the racing action. The Big Ferris wheel is returning this year, bringing the carnival vibes to your day and providing an iconic backdrop for all the fun and frivolity with stacks of great bars and food vendors close by.
Satisfy your cravings with Johnny’s Popcorn, Slush Happy Van, Giddy Up Bar and Mobile Woodfire Pizza among others.
Also located on the Derby Lawns, is a main stage, showcasing live segments delving into details around the fantastic race card for the day, styling and fashion, as well as music from local band, Funk Me. If you’re looking for something a little different, head to the Flourish dancefloor where you can enjoy DJ beats alongside live percussion and saxophone.
And the value continues…Freshen up your look ahead of Fashions on the Field with a visit to Atta Boy Barbers who will be providing free haircuts. Visit Snap Snap photobooth for free digital mementos straight to your phone throughout the day, or take advantage of the free colour matching services from Staker Sartorial to help you choose the perfect customised suit. You can also test your jockey skills on a simulated horse racing arcade game retro-style and of course, Croser Fashions on the Field will be happening in Flourish with a fantastic prize pool on offer including cash, Westfield Vouchers, coffee and Croser product.
For those keen on the more traditional elements of the Morphettville race day experience, head to the new Byron Bay Beer Garden in the Betting Ring for continuous race feed, an abundance of betting facilities, cold beer and tasty snacks close at hand and for a little extra, an Espresso Martini Van.
This giant celebration only happens once a year so don’t put yourself through the FOMO of missing out on an epic Adelaide Cup experience.
