Widely renowned as ‘Ladies Day’ at the Galway Festival, Thursday combines the very best in racing and fashion for the pinnacle of the summer racing calendar.
With seven very competitive races on the card, Friday is always a hugely popular evening race meeting, and a great way to kick off the Bank Holiday weekend.
A day out with your family with fun and colour at the heart of this special day. Families are warmly welcomed here in Ballybrit.
The final day of the Summer Festival 2020 epitomises that old adage about saving the best for last! Hugley popular 'Mad Hatters Day' with fantastic prizes on offer.
