All of the Feature Race Days have been themed. And while all of the themes have unique elements, many of the activities and facilities are available at every Feature Race Day. For example, children are welcome and would enjoy a Food and Wine Day just as much as a Family Day. By the same token, food and wine are readily available on Family Days.

Food & Wine Days
A casual atmosphere with a range of excellent wines and specialty foods from the local area make these days especially popular. Live music and marquee facilities add to the enjoyment. It’s a lot like a food and wine festival, but with the added excitement of racing. Lots of people make it a weekend holiday by booking into a B&B or hotel on Saturday night, and using the free day for wine tasting and touring.

Family Days
These are great social occasions for families to get together. There’s heaps of free entertainment for kids: clowns, animal nurseries, face painting and, more often than not, a special kids’ band or concert. The most famous of these days is Oakbank, where people flock each year because they have a great time. There’s something for everyone on Family Days.


Cultural Days
Cultural Days are a fantastic combination of food, wine and entertainment, flavoured with tastes of various cultures from across the world. South Australians are lucky to have such a diverse population, and the spoils of this are on show during Cultural Days. So, bring your family and friends, and join in the fun.

Cup Days
These are the premier race days for each club, and they go all out to make them a memorable experience. The smoke-free Adelaide Cup is the most prestigious of these days, full of colour, flare and elegance. But that doesn’t mean you can’t be yourself, and enjoy the fantastic atmosphere. All Cup Days have a special ‘race’ feel, and are very popular with people who love racing or people who love a party. An excellent range of corporate and private marquee packages are usually available.

Ladies Days
This is a chance for ladies to flaunt their style amidst a backdrop of fashion and racing. Probably the most formal of all the themes, Ladies Days are great social occasions. Of course, these days are not just for ladies; there’s plenty going on for everyone to have a great day out. Once again, marquee packages are a popular option with many groups.
