The Rockingham Beach Cup is an iconic celebration that showcases Western Australia’s only beach horse racing experience, set against the stunning Rockingham foreshore. Across two unforgettable days, the event brings together locals and visitors for a vibrant weekend of entertainment, community connection, and coastal fun.
On Saturday 15 November, the festivities begin with the Rotary Community Festival at Churchill Park (2.00pm – 7.00pm). Enjoy live music, artisan markets, food stalls, and free family activities.
The excitement continues on Sunday 16 November from 10.00am, as the Rotary Community Festival returns with family-friendly entertainment on and off stage, gourmet food vendors, interactive activity zones, and artisan stalls. The highlight of the day – the spectacular beachside races – begins at midday.
For an elevated experience, head to the Palm Beach Oasis, open from 12:00pm to 7:00pm on Sunday. This exclusive area gives ticket holders toes-in-the-sand views of the finish line. Enjoy WA wines, Seabreeze beer, cocktails, pop-up food trucks, DJs, live bands, charity auctions, and Fashions on the Foreshore - all combining to create a vibrant beachside atmosphere unlike any other. Each ticket includes an acrylic wine or beer glass, plus all of the above experiences. Please note: The type of acrylic glass is subject to availability and may be substituted with the opposite option.
First staged in 2016 by the Rotary Club of Palm Beach WA Inc., the Rockingham Beach Cup combines two of WA’s most loved pastimes – a day at the races and a day at the beach – all in one spectacular event.
Proudly supported by the City of Rockingham through its Iconic Event Funding program, the Cup has grown into one of the state’s most unique attractions.
With support from RWWA, all horses are sourced through experienced trainers, featuring a mix of current and recently retired racehorses, with safety a top priority. Skilled jockeys ensure a professional yet relaxed racing experience. Unlike traditional race meets, there is no betting and no whips used – making this a truly community-focused event.
Funds raised from the Rockingham Beach Cup support vital causes, benefitting Variety – the Children’s Charity, MSWA, and Palm Beach Rotary community projects.
