The Rockingham Beach Cup is back this weekend, November 16 and 17.
The Cup is a two-day event with free entertainment and horse races along the Rockingham Beach Foreshore.
The event has previously ran in 2016 and 2017, and had around 30,000 people attend.
It is believed the 2017 event contributed approximately $1 million to the Rockingham economy.
Mayor Barry Sammels said the City was delighted to be able to welcome the return of the Cup in 2019.
“The Rockingham Beach Cup is an iconic event that plays an important role in boosting the local economy and also the profile of our City,” Mayor Sammels said.
“Attracting and retaining iconic events like the Rockingham Beach Cup is a key part of the City’s Tourist Destination Strategy, so naturally Council was keen to support Palm Beach Rotary Club and their efforts to host the event.
“With the Rockingham Beach Foreshore Revitalisation set to be finished very soon, we can expect to see a world class event hosted at a truly stunning foreshore location.”
Free entertainment, food trucks and street food pop-ups, artisan markets, and kids’ activities will start from 4pm on Saturday.
Festivities will continue on to Sunday, alongside the six-race cup to kick off at 12.40pm.
