Cup Week starts with Derby Day. A premier race worth over AUD $2 million, with a dazzling sideshow of fashion, glamour and the Myer Fashions on the Field competition.

The race that “stops the nation”, Melbourne Cup is Australia’s iconic horse racing event, held on the first Tuesday of November every year. It is an annual public holiday in the state of Victoria.

Traditionally known as ‘ladies day’, this race doubles as a fashion parade with Myer Fashions on the Field Women’s Racewear national winner. But nowadays the style is not just for the females, the men also take it up a notch, making it one of the best days of the year for men to dress up and explore fashion.

Cup Week finishes with Stakes Day at Flemington. Although more family orientated, it’s also a big day for fashion’s future trendsetters with Stakes Day Fashions on the Field focusing on children and family. With a fun, friendly atmosphere, an abundance of free activities for children, as well as great racing, Stakes Day is the perfect way to finish Cup Week. .
