Weir's IGA St Arnaud Cup | 26 October 2024

The Cox Plate of the Bush is back, and we could not be more excited about the 2024 Weir's IGA St Arnaud Cup. This is a day that the locals look forward to and racegoers and revellers anticipate all year, it is a day of celebration, a community gathering and an opportunity to have a cracking day out at the country races. If you haven't experienced the St Arnaud Cup yet..... this is your opportunity to attend one of Victoria's country race meeting gems. You might be a racing fan or simply looking for a day out and to have a good time. The Mini Marquee & Umbrella Precinct provides a fun atmosphere for those looking to host their Hens Day, Bucks Day or end of year Football or Netball trip or you might be looking to celebrate a birthday or special occasion at the races. You are close to the racing action here, the bar, the band and all the race day energy. If you are after a race day package that is a one stop shop - the Riotous Mischief Winning Post Marquee is the package for you. A town courtesy bus operates on race day and departs the car park behind the Town Hall from 11.30am and completes round trips to the Racecourse until approximately 3pm. After the races, return trips into town commence from 6.30pm back to the Town Hall car park (last bus at 7.30pm). Bookings are not required for this bus. If you are looking for more than horses at a race meeting and want a genuine grassroots country racing event with all the bells and whistles of live music, fashions, kid's entertainment, a kid’s brumby cup foot race, then...... you've just found it!
