There’s a reason the Darwin Cup has earned its spot as the most anticipated social event on the Top End calendar. It’s not just a race, it’s a rite of passage, a party, a style statement and a Territory tradition. Whether you’re frocked up in fascinators, there for the punt, or just chasing a good time with your crew, Darwin Cup Day delivers on all fronts. 

Soak up the festive atmosphere with easy access to bars, food trucks and live entertainment. If fashion is your thing, see all the glamour and elegance of the Fashions on the Field, showcasing some of the Territory’s best fashion!

As the racing concludes, the course transforms into the official Darwin Cup Afterparty, featuring Australian rock icon Shannon Noll and electronic duo Mashd N Kutcher (Anthems) live on stage. 

There's no need to purchase a separate Afterparty ticket. Every Darwin Cup ticket includes entry to the Afterparty, so you can enjoy the Territory's biggest day out before the celebrations continue into the evening.
