This
three-day carnival is not only the island's premier racing event,
it is also Kangaroo
Island's largest tourism event. Each year more and more people
are making the journey to enjoy the great carnival atmosphere.
The highlight of the weekend is the KI Cup Race Day on the Saturday,
with everything you would expect from a cup day.
There
is the Fashions On The Field Competition,
local
food and wine and free entertainment for everybody - but there's
also plenty of other things happening in and around the course
too.
Thursday is the casual 'warm-up' meeting for those who like to
get into the swing of things right from the start - you can even
enter a crayfish picking competition.
In
particular, the Kingscote Twilight Street
Party
and the Wind-Up Dinner at the Ozone Seafront Hotel are very popular
with locals and tourists alike.
For three days, the party atmosphere in the picturesque seaside
town of Kingscote is just fantastic. It's a perfect way to spend
a long weekend, but one thing is for sure - it won't be long enough.
There is a shuttle bus service from Kingscote out to the
race track on
Saturday from approx 11 am.

Kingscote Racecourse Cygnet River
