Mount Gambier Gold Cup Carnival

The Mount Gambier Gold Cup Carnival is one of the biggest sporting events on the Limestone Coast.

For two days in December each year (previously, it was held in May), the tracks roar with the thunder of thoroughbreds as the crowds cheer them on.

The carnival offers exciting prizes, often over $225,000. A variety of tickets are available with a wide range of family-friendly activities to enjoy.

Visitors can enjoy a relaxing day learning about the line-ups and forms while getting to know trainers and horses before using betting apps. The second day is when the races begin. The event is open to all, and members can unwind in the clubrooms upstairs of the racecourse. Non-members may socialise and gather at the downstairs area of the pavilion, which is enclosed but open to all.

The event will feature live entertainment, gourmet food, a terrific selection of beers and wine, excellent coffee, and cloakrooms.

The Mount Gambier Gold Cup Carnival is held at the picturesque Allan Scott Glenburnie Racecourse, just outside Mount Gambier along the Princes Highway in Glenburnie.
