OTHER TRANSPORT OPTIONSRing in the New Year in style at Flemington — where the thrill of twilight racing collides with a night of unforgettable celebration.
We start with an outstanding eight-race card showcasing the best of off-season talent, including the time-honoured Listed Bagot Handicap (2800m) and the Listed Kensington Stakes (1400m).
The fun doesn’t stop with the last though.

Families will be spoilt too, with fun for all ages across the lawn including free rides and games, face painting and even a kids disco, plus spectacular views of the 9:30pm family fireworks from Footscray Park.
Then, as midnight approaches, Flemington will join in one big countdown to 2026 with unbeatable views of the Melbourne CBD as they erupt in a dazzling fireworks display.
This is New Year’s Eve, Flemington style — thrilling racing, unforgettable celebrations, and entertainment for partygoers of every age!
