SplashOut Seafood & Jazz Racing Festival

The Cape Racing Summer Festival of Racing is in full swing, and the excitement continues with the SplashOut Seafood & Jazz Racing Festival at Hollywoodbets Kenilworth.

As the final Gr 1 race of the season, the highly anticipated Gr 1 SplashOut Cape Derby features a thrilling 9-race card. Some of the most prominent horses to have won the Cape Derby include Dynasty, Jet Master, Rabiya and the recently retired Green With Envy in 2024. Adding to the excitement, the Gr 2 Khaya Stables Diadem Stakes over 1 200m promises to be a spectacle.

Music lovers can look forward to a stellar line-up of live performances, including the soulful sounds of Penelope Radsma, the incredible Cape Town sensation Salome and the upbeat grooves of DJs Selwyn and Roy.

Foodies will be in for a treat, with a great selection of fresh seafood offerings, with food trucks on hand, serving up crowd-pleasing favourites.

For families, the festival’s dedicated Kids’ Zone offers plenty of entertainment for young racegoers. Older kids can dive into immersive VR experiences, while younger ones enjoy games and a free treats station with popcorn, slushies and more.

After strolling through the bustling Cape Racing Trackside Market, racegoers can enjoy premium trackside experiences from the grandstand, lounge areas or picnic-style seating on the lawns.

For an elevated experience, book a table in the Peninsula Room for an exclusive pass to luxury and excitement, complete with prime views, reserved seating, a three-course meal and a welcome drink.
