Work’s winding down. Your social life shouldn’t be.
The Twilight Races are a summer staple – fast racing, buzzing hospitality, great crowds and a party that goes well into the night.
Think of it as your classic raceday – equal parts glam and thrill – just with a summer’s evening twist.
The racing kicks off late afternoon and rolls into a golden-hour evening, setting the tone for one of Auckland’s favourite end-of-year events.
With six fast-paced races run back-to-back, this is racing’s answer to 20/20 cricket – short, sharp, and packed with energy. Whether you’re trackside, catching the action from the bar, or just soaking up the buzz, it’s an evening that delivers.
And when the final horse heads home? The infamous Birdcage Bash takes over – transforming the trackside precinct into a post-race party to remember. One not to miss.
Please note: This event concludes at 10:30pm
Timings are approximate and subject to change.
