Sun, racing, and real summer energy - it’s all happening at the SkyCity Boxing Day Races.
Christmas Day is for tradition. Boxing Day is for you.
Auckland’s biggest summer celebration returns – and whether you’re coming straight from the bach, rounding up the crew, or making it an annual catch-up, the SkyCity Boxing Day Races are your excuse to dress up, let loose and enjoy the best of summer at Ellerslie.
With top-class thoroughbred racing, a carnival-like atmosphere, and everything from chilled lawn vibes to bustling bars and hospitality options, there’s something for everyone – including free entertainment to keep the little ones happy and Fashions in the Field for the ultimate in off-track colour.
A rite of passage for many Aucklanders and a must-do on the social calendar, this is one tradition you’ll actually look forward to.
Timings listed are approximate and subject to change.
For a crowd that knows how to bring the energy.
Brought to you in association with The Grand Tour Racing Festival.
