Why

Hosted by The Vegan Vegout and Woking Amazing food truck, This Offical Nup to the Cup event proudly supports the Coalition for the Protection of Racehorses and the Nup to the Cup campaign.

Join us for an electrifying day of compassion, connection, and cruelty-free celebration at Welcome to Thornbury, featuring Melbourne’s best vegan food, market stalls, DJs, flash tattoos, animal charities, cocktails, an epic prize draw, and special guest speaker Georgie Purcell MP.

Feel the buzz, meet the community, and experience a day that celebrates life - not racing.

  • 12pm - 8pm | Everyone welcome
  • Welcome to Thornbury
  • 520 High Street, Northcote

Dogs are welcome, but it will be very busy - if your pup isn’t great with crowds, it might be best they stay comfy at home.

The event is inclusive and disability accessible, but please note it may get loud and crowded at times.

Order you tickets soon. Raffle tickets will be available for purchase online. Announced soon.
