Boxing Day Races
What’s On
Boxing Day, Saturday 26 December, at the Sunshine Coast Turf Club, is a Sunshine Coast institution. Pack the whole crew in the car, from grandparents to littlies, because Boxing Day means racing, sunshine and a day that doesn’t ask you to choose between family time and a good time. Whether you’re working off Christmas lunch or just here for the tradition, we’ve got your day sorted.
We’re building something special for the family in a brand-new Family Fun Zone, details drop soon. The Glasshouse opens up for private dining or a cocktail function above the track. TAB Greenhouse turns on the Gourmet BBQ, right on your own casual front lawn. And keep an eye out, the Champagne Garden Boxing Day Recovery Lunch is coming. Your spot is out there. Find it below.
