There’s plenty to look forward to at Wangaratta Turf Club as they head into another exciting racing season, with a strong calendar of race days, entertainment and events bringing people together at the track.
While racing remains at the heart of what they do, their race days have become about much more than what happens on the track.
They’re an opportunity to catch up with friends, bring the family along, celebrate with the work crew and enjoy a great day out right here in Wangaratta.
Melbourne Cup Day on Tuesday 3 November will once again be one of the biggest days on the calendar.
There’s nothing quite like Cup Day at Wangaratta, with live racing, hospitality, live music, Fashions on the Field and plenty of entertainment creating a fantastic atmosphere across the course.
Then attention turns to the Christmas Party Races on Saturday 5 December – a meeting that has quickly become a favourite for local businesses and groups looking to celebrate the end of the year.
With live racing, music, hospitality and plenty of Christmas spirit, it’s the perfect excuse to get the work crew together and finish the year trackside.
And once the school bell rings for the final time, they're bringing the fun back for Family Day on Tuesday 22 December.
With water slides, kids’ entertainment, Christmas fun, Santa Bob and a full afternoon of racing, it’s designed to be an easy, affordable day out for families just days before Christmas.
Across the entire season, the Wangaratta Turf Club aims to be a place the community is proud to call its own – whether you’re a racing regular or simply looking for a great day out.
There’s a big season ahead, and the Wangaratta Turf Club looks forward to welcoming everyone trackside.
