Melbourne Cup at Viaduct Harbour

Melbourne Cup, Here.

Come Tuesday 3 November, the waterfront comes alive with long lunches, flowing Champagne, race-day fashion and celebrations that carry well into the afternoon.

Some of the precinct’s most sought-after Melbourne Cup events are already fully booked, while a handful of tables are still available. And if lunch has passed you by, there’s still plenty of reason to join us later in the day, with selected venues opening their doors to the public for the final races and celebrations that follow.
