Let the good times keep on rollin'

In partnership with The Grand Tour we’re bringing the heat to Ellerslie!

Join us for a sun-soaked day of racing, fresh beats, and good vibes.

Whether you’re here for the thrill, the tunes, or the scene, this is the summer hangout you don’t want to miss.

The Grand Tour Racing Festival and Flava are bringing the trackside tunes from Auckland’s legendary DJ 09 for you to kick back and relax to in style between races.

Two black-type races will head up day’s 8-race card and there will be some free activities to help keep the little ones entertained too.

General admission is FREE.

Please note that raceday carparking is accessible via 16 Derby Downs Place. Mobility / accessible parking, ticket collection, drop-offs and foot traffic via 100 Ascot Avenue. Learn more here.

Private hospitality options are available. Contact us to learn more.
