Auckland’s biggest summer celebration returns – and whether you’re coming straight from the bach, rounding up the crew, or making it an annual catch-up, the SkyCity Boxing Day Races are your excuse to dress up, let loose, and enjoy the best of summer at Ellerslie.
With top-class thoroughbred racing, a carnival-like atmosphere, and everything from chilled lawn vibes to bustling bars and hospitality options, there’s something for everyone – including free entertainment to keep the little ones happy and Fashions in the Field – for the ultimate in off-track colour.
Getting there
Te huarahi ki reira
You can take the train to Greenlane station or take one of many bus routes and walk 15 mins to the venue. There is free parking available on site for race days but you must enter via 16 Derby Downs Place, drive through the tunnel and continue on the road until you reach the carpark that is located within the racecourse infield.
