Once reserved for Arabian royalty and Dubai’s elite, the Middle East’s most popular and illustrious sport, camel racing, is descending on Morphettville Racecourse for the first time.

Proudly supported by Thirsty Camel, iconic Morphettville Racecourse is bringing camel racing to Adelaide this year for one night only, in an eccentric exhibition of entertainment and camels for the Thirsty Camel Cup Lawn Party.

Kicking off from 2pm, punters will spend the afternoon watching the sun setting over Morphettville whilst enjoying entertainment by local Adelaide deejays. An array of food trucks will be on offer, serving a range of delicious meals, snacks and drinks, plus a happy hour will be running from 2pm – 4pm.

For those really wanting to make a night of it, the official after party kicks off trackside after the last race.
