The official dress code for the Summer Cup bans jeans and flip flops, but the real dress code is a top hat or fancy fascinator. Races in Johannesburg are leaps and bounds beyond the creatures that pull the carts, for people that compete in a different way. But beyond the sometimes opera, essentially never spirited, fully South African, Hooters, and Mr. Price, the Summer Cup offers a variety of different rides and attractions and is a great family outing.

No one cares who wins the prize at Johannesburg's oldest 1st grade horse race, the, and turf fighting a stunning race in Atlantis.

For All Travel Agents, DMCs and Corporate Incentive Planners

News just in and its seriously exciting news. The Summer Cup 2027 is a plug-and-play corporate incentive. It is glamorous and action-packed, and there’s no shortage of content when it comes to client relationship building. Trackside hospitality packages have a offering ranging from group hospitality spaces to private VIP hospitality lounges. It is the ideal year-end incentive trip and makes an incentive day a real treat. Johannesburg is one of the easiest cities to reach from anywhere in the world and the racing industry's offerings are world class. People don't complain when there's food, hospitality, and live music. It’s a day at the races. These premium areas sell out quickly, so book before they are all gone!
