Following Canberra's inaugural Nup to the Cup celebration last year, we are bringing even more local flavour and fun this year so join us for Nup to the Cup - an afternoon of great music, entertainment, good company and a celebration that doesn’t involve horse racing.

Canberra's alternative to the Melbourne Cup.

Tickets are available via humanitix -

Hosted by the fabulous Wayne Herbert, joined by Jolene Mifsud (aka Inkbits) with live music from Will Campbell, the afternoon will feature our always-fun Fashions OFF the Field, with great prizes up for grabs, plus an auction with some fabulous things to bid on.

Nup to the Cup is the alternative to Melbourne Cup culture: fun, inclusive and proudly cruelty-free.

Come along, bring your friends, enjoy some food and drinks and a great afternoon.

Your entry fee includes a drink on arrival, delicious catering and a full afternoon of entertainment.

Tuesday 3 November 2026 starting at 1 pm.
Good people. Great entertainment. Great prizes. No horses required.
