The Bacchus Marsh Cup Day Festival is back after a long wait for an action-packed family day.

Emma Dwyer from Webb’s Event group said for many years there’s been requests for Cup Day’s return and finally the team can deliver it.

“It’s a whole new team working very hard behind the scenes to deliver the event,” she said.

“We have tried to follow many of the stories from the previous cup days and this has inspired many of the activities that will be available on the day.”

There’ll be live music including from local legends Recall the 80s, carnival rides, a beer garden, a kids’ chill zone, a family market, a free Lazer Tag for all, giant kid’s games, free pony rides and face painting, a Food Park, the naming of the Bacchus Marsh Cup fashionista and we can’t forget the real reason for the day the carnival races displayed on our big screens.

The fun kicks off at noon, November 7 in Maddingley park. Tickets are available online.
