A raceday with soul. 

It’s the luckiest day of the Carnival! Irish Day is a feel-good favourite filled with laughter, music, and unmistakable Irish cheer. The beating heart of the action is the Irish Hall, where Craic N’ On take the stage, Guinness and Kilkenny flow like the River Liffey and belly-warming Irish bites from Johnny Fox’s pop-up bar keep the crowd fuelled for an afternoon of laughter, dancing, and non-stop Irish spirit.

Tuck into Irish-themed eats and feel the buzz of the crowd as the Cox Plate beams in live from Moonee Valley. Whether you’ve got Irish roots or just love a great day out, this is one of the Carnival’s most colourful popular events. 

Upgrade your Irish Day in Flying Colours Restaurant on our Member Floor or indulge in a delicious buffet lunch in The Terrace Restaurant.
