The race that stops the nation lands on the harbour on 3 November, and Alegre is the spot to watch it unfold. Margaritas flowing courtesy of El Tequileño Tequila, food coming out of the kitchen, and a front-row view of the water — it’s the kind of afternoon that makes the Melbourne Cup feel like the occasion it is.

Alegre sweepstakes, best-dressed prizes, and live entertainment run through the afternoon, with multiple screens positioned around the venue so the race itself is never more than a glance away.
