About this event

Melbourne Cup day moves to Townsville's Ville Resort-Casino, with a Pavilion afternoon running 11.30am to 3.30pm on Tuesday 3 November. Hosted by Australian Olympian and online personality Sam Fricker, it's race day glamour with gourmet platters, Mexican cantina tasting stations and a four-hour premium beverage package featuring signature cocktails by 1800 Tequila.

Once the race is done, the party carries on out on the Ville lawns, where the afterparty is led by Vibe Architects. It's a proper Cup day in the tropics, built around the race that stops the nation.
