A World of Cuddles, Carrots and the Cup Awaits.

Join us for the final stop of the Lexus Melbourne Cup Tour before it makes its way to Flemington for the iconic Lexus Melbourne Cup Day. This special event will be hosted at Living Legends, the 2023 Lexus Melbourne Cup Tour National Sweep winner charity recipient, offering a rare opportunity to experience the magic of the People’s Cup up close.

This is the last chance for VRC Members and the public to see the legendary Melbourne Cup before it arrives at Flemington! This is a free event, but registrations are essential.

The event kicks off with an official ceremony at 11am, concluding at 12 noon. Guests will have the unique opportunity to take photos with the 2024 Lexus Melbourne Cup before it departs for Flemington. Meet the Living Legends, many past Melbourne Cup-winners, and hear captivating stories from those who were part of these historic victories.

The day is packed with fun for the whole family, including face painting, pony rides, and lawn games. Enjoy a snack or light lunch from the Homestead Café or one of the food trucks on-site, making it a delightful day out for all ages.

Help support the VRC’s 2024 Pin & Win charity partner, Ronald McDonald House Charities Victoria and Tasmania, by purchasing a pin.
