Reefton’s annual summer raceday returns, bringing relaxed, family-friendly holiday racing to the historic Reefton Racecourse. It’s a genuine Coast tradition, easygoing, welcoming, and the perfect way to enjoy the festive break with friends and whānau. Bring the kids, bring the family, bring your mates. It’s easy, welcoming, and full of the simple fun that makes country racedays so good.

Expect a full afternoon of harness racing, entertainment, and on-course activity. The club will have music playing throughout the day, on-course announcements and giveaways, and plenty happening between races to keep the atmosphere lively.

There’s a real mix of good food, family fun, and proper West Coast energy around the course. The Lions Club BBQ, hot dogs and chips, donuts, ice cream, coffee carts, the Mash cart, and the tearooms. You won’t go hungry. Picnics are welcome, with large lawn areas available for those wanting a relaxed base for the day.

Kids are well catered for, with bouncy castles, games, and fun activities on the lawn areas, an ideal setup for families looking for an affordable summer outing.

And of course, it wouldn’t be Reefton without Glamour in the Goldfields, Reefton’s raceday style competition with that unmistakable Coast flavour.

With free admission and the easy, classic charm of a West Coast raceday, Reefton offers the perfect opportunity to unwind, enjoy the sunshine, and take in quality summer racing.
