Melbourne Cup 2026

Celebrate Melbourne Cup the Cabana Bar way — we’re taking the racetrack to the tropics. It’s a day off in the middle of the working week and a holiday in the middle of the city, right in the heart of Martin Place.   Think: flamingo stilt walkers, live entertainment, roaming canapés, food stations galore and the biggest outdoor screen in the CBD calling the race live and loud, all on Sydney’s largest outdoor terrace. It’s all happening this Cup Day, Tuesday 3 November, from 11:30am.   Tickets start at $79pp early bird — or rally the crew and score $79pp when you book for 10 or more. Every ticket includes a drink on arrival and a food package designed by AHA Chef of the Year Brad Sloane.   Frock up, suit up, go slightly overboard. Best Dressed prizes are on the line, and subtlety has never won anyone anything. Once the winner’s declared, the afterparty rolls on from 3pm with our DJ keeping you dancing into the night. Out of office, on the terrace, holidaying often.   Book your spot before the field fills.
