The TV3 Carnival is set to take place right in the thick of the action on TV3 Derby Day. Located on the grandstand side of the course and stretching right down the racetrack’s ‘home straight’, the performance from Kimbra will be supported with all-day guest DJs & music, stars from TV shows making guest appearances, games, prizes and even the chance for partygoers to get themselves on TV with a live casting call taking place throughout the day.

Partygoers are welcome to bring along their own picnic lunches, non-alcoholic beverages, gazebos, umbrellas (and anything else they can carry!) to the TV3 Carnival and Ellerslie will also be coming to the party with a range of bars and food stalls as well as free usage of umbrellas and marquees offering shade and shelter throughout the day, so you will have a great time no matter the weather!

TV3 Derby Day is also a must on the fashion calendar with New Zealand's most fashionable racegoers competing in Nissan Prix de Fashion tosee who scoops the winner-takes-all prize that includes, a brand new Nissan Juke vehicle!
