Celebrate Melbourne's Biggest Race Days: Your Guide to the Spring Racing Carnival 2024
Melbourne’s Spring Racing Carnival is a season like no other—a time when the city comes alive with vibrant colours, elegant fashion, and the thunder of hooves. From the prestigious Cox Plate to the world-famous Melbourne Cup, these race days are the highlight of spring, bringing together excitement, tradition, and celebration.
But the true magic of the Spring Racing Carnival extends beyond the racetrack. After a day spent at Flemington or Moonee Valley, what could be better than continuing the festivities at an elegant venue close to all the action? Saros Bar & Dining, just minutes from both racecourses, is the perfect post-race destination to unwind, indulge, and raise a glass to the day’s events.
Make the Most of Race Day: How to Get Around
