We kick off with an outstanding eight-race card highlighted by the time-honoured Listed Bagot Handicap (2800m) and Listed Kensington Stakes (1400m).
The celebration continues well beyond the last. As the sun sets, Flemington transforms into a vibrant playground, with live music and DJs, gourmet food trucks, and pop-up bars. Families are covered too, with games, face painting, a kids’ disco, and prime views of the 9:30pm Footscray Park fireworks. Then, as midnight nears, Flemington counts down to 2026 with unbeatable views of Melbourne’s spectacular CBD fireworks.
