Golden Rose Day

Overview

For keen racegoers, the arrival of the De Bortoli Wines Golden Rose Day means one thing: Everest Carnival is well underway. And for those looking for a lively day out in the sun, there's a wealth of food, drinks and entertainment on offer.

Rosehill Gardens will host this major event, now in its third year, on Saturday, September 22. And there's plenty going on to fill your day with. Wander through the grounds and discover a host of pop-up bars from Pimm's and Canadian Club, then retreat to The Deck by De Bortoli Wines to sip bubbly in the sun on the tiered lawn and listen to DJ Helena Ellis' tunes from the nearby Main Stage.

When you're feeling peckish, make a beeline for Rosehill's newest food precinct, Eats at the Gardens. There you'll find a selection of food trucks ready to curb your hunger including Vietnamese specialists Trinhy's, American barbecue from Hardstyle Kitchen, plus Chur Burger and many others.

Following the festivities at Rosehill Gardens, make tracks to Rosehill Bowling Club where the official after-party will be keeping things going late into the night with a host of live music and DJ karaoke. And, if you're keen to do it all again soon, make sure you enter the On Top of the World competition. The prize is a money-can't-buy experience for Everest Day (October 13): two night's accommodation at The Star, a buffet breakfast at Sokyo, a helicopter transfer to Randwick and a dining package while you're there. Plus, when you return to The Star that night (via limousine), you'll enjoy dinner at BLACK Bar & Grill.
