WHAT’S ON Autumn

8 April

OAKBANK EASTER SATURDAY

The Easter Racing Carnival has been one of South Australia’s premier social and sporting occasions for almost 150 years, and the annual pilgrimage to the Adelaide Hills track is, for many, a family tradition that goes back generations. Uniquely among SA racecourses, racegoers can bring their own picnics and barbeques, and by the time racing begins the car park is awash with marquees, tents and barbeques as families and friends soak up the unique country racing atmosphere.

3-9 MARCH
