What a fantastic day it was at the Bayleys Community Carnival Raceday, a celebration of fun, fashion, and fast-paced racing action!

The atmosphere was buzzing from start to finish, with something for everyone to enjoy. Families soaked up the sunshine with Circus in a Flash entertaining the kids, plus plenty of smiles at the dress-up photo booth and colouring competition.

Live music kept the vibe lively throughout the day, while the Tauranga Crossing Fashions in the Field brought glamour and style trackside, showcasing some truly stunning looks. Racing fans were treated to a great card of thrilling thoroughbred action, and the vintage tractor display added a nostalgic touch.

To top it all off, the crowd enjoyed browsing local market stalls and sampling tasty treats from a fantastic lineup of food trucks.

A brilliant day out all round — roll on next year’s carnival!
