The Mornington Festival is taking to Mornington Racecourse for the first time on Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 January 2024, featuring a stellar selection of over 100 market stalls, food trucks, bars and a ‘Live and Local’ stage. Adding to the excitement, a race day will be held on Sunday 7 January to round out the free two-day event.  

An enticing blend of local flair, palatable delicacies, and elite horse racing, Mornington Festival offers the perfect trackside summer haven for the whole family to enjoy.  

Wander through the eclectic market stalls with a cold beverage in hand or grab a bite to eat from a range of delicious food trucks with the likes of Lip Smackn Chicken, Fergys Bakery, Gelati Societe and Kenny’s Margarita Bar on course to tantalise your tastebuds. What’s more, the crème de la crème of local jewellery, skincare, jewellery, homewares and more will be yours to explore.  

There will be plenty of opportunity to unwind, with pockets of relaxed seating options providing the perfect oasis to savour the sounds of local artists. Get up and dance with the likes of Lily Clancy, Kassandra & Him, Whiskey Gypsies, Movers & Shakers, Piano Wizard Andrew Farrell, Marcelle, The Calmer Miles and Icky Stitch delivering electrifying vibes! 

Better yet, children can look forward to a lively selection of lawn games and live entertainment across the weekend. Play the day away with super-sized checkers, jenga, mini golf, face painters and more available on course. 

With a little something for everyone, gather your friends and family and head down to Mornington Racecourse for a weekend to remember.
