Melbourne Cup
Melbourne, Australia
Go Down Under for the annual Melbourne Cup Carnival, a tradition dating back to 1861 that is considered by many to be the greatest 3,200-meter horse race in the world. The race has a strong international presence, both in the competition and the attendees who celebrate at the carnival in customary hats. There’s even a competition, Fashions on the Field, celebrating the carnival’s best-dressed men and women with celebrity judges and high-end sponsors. A combination of general admission and grandstand tickets offer affordable options for the big event on the first Tuesday in November, as well as the other races spread out over the week’s worth of events at the carnival.
