The New Zealand Herald Christmas Carnival is a long-standing highlight on the Auckland Social Calendar!

 

BOXING DAY, 28th DEC & NEW YEAR'S DAY


The thrill and excitement of The New Zealand Herald Christmas Carnival is a long-standing highlight of the Auckland social calendar!

The institution that is the Boxing Day Races is drawing closer! Who will take top honours in what will no doubt be a hotly-contested VIVA Fashions in the Field competition? Who will be the stars of the track after winning Group status races like the prestigious Zabeel Classic? Who will be celebrating Christmas with friends in one of the many hospitality options oncourse?

Want to know the best way to recover from the madness of New Year's Eve? How about spending the first day of the New Year at Ellerslie where you can soak up the effects of the previous night with a classic kiwi feast on the Alfresco BBQ Lawn - all the while checking out the action from some of New Zealand's best thoroughbred races like the Rich Hill Mile or City of Auckland Cup!
