Kick off the ANZAC long weekend with a Friday night at Alexandra Park that brings a little bit of everything. There’s a strong crowd, a lively atmosphere, and plenty happening across the venue, whether you’re there for a casual catch-up or making a night of it.

Public entry is free, with The Alex Bar & Eatery open to everyone. No bookings needed, just turn up, grab a drink, and settle in for a social night trackside.

If you’re looking to upgrade your night, the Tasman Room offers a more premium experience with buffet dining, drinks, and elevated views of the track. It’s one of the most popular setups on the calendar and a great option for groups or a more organised night out.

Out on the track, it’s one of the bigger nights of the season, headlined by feature races that bring some of the best horses together and add to the energy on course.
