Melbourne Cup Carnival 2025

The Melbourne Cup Carnival is an unequalled world-class event that encompasses the finest racing, entertainment, fashion, culture, food and wine all in one place - Flemington.

The Party

The Melbourne Cup Carnival creates a party atmosphere unparalleled at any other Australian sporting event.

The huge crowds which pack into Flemington Racecourse are there for a good time and whether it's a day in one of the countless corporate marquees which span the racecourse, a car boot party in the Members' Car Park, a picnic on the public lawn or fine dining in one of the racecourse's many excellent restaurants and marquee enclosures, there is a sense of fun and excitement which is unique to this great event.

People swarm to Flemington on foot, by car, train, tram, boat or helicopter as all roads, rails and rivers direct the hordes to the centre of the action for four days of frenetic fun.

It's an experience not to be missed!
