Hold your horses for Noosa Cup Day
If you’ve been champing at the bit for a big day out at the races – now’s your chance to saddle up and get INvolved! For horse racing enthusiasts, fashion fundis and foodies, Noosa Cup Day, taking place on Sunday 18 August, has something for everyone across several of the Sunshine Coast Turf Club’s premier venues.
With all those hats, heels and dapper suits – there’s just something special about a race day. Especially on the Sunny Coast where dress up normally means a smart pair of thongs.
