Straight from the Horse’s Mouth: Oakbank 2018

Oakbank Easter Racing Carnival
Saturday 31st March – Monday 2nd April

Quit horsing around and pencil in Oakbank Easter Racing Carnival, because this year there will be a massive Easter egg hunt! Oakbank is not just a one trick pony. There will also be a designated kids zone and lots of other free activities for little ones all weekend. We’ve heard it straight from the horse’s mouth that this is an event not to be missed.

Oakbank Racing Club (c1876) is located in South Australia’s picturesque Adelaide Hills just 25 minutes from the CBD in “blue grass” racing country. This historic club races just four times annually with the pinnacle event being the Oakbank Easter Racing Carnival, the world’s biggest picnic race meeting. Pack your picnic rugs and get ready for another fabulous family event in 2018
