With spring on the horizon, let’s take a look at the most popular local events and services that this evolving precinct has to offer — and mark them down in your diary, you won’t want to miss them!

A day at the races The annual Werribee Cup draws locals from both Werribee and its neighbouring suburbs to the racetracks for a day of carnival-style fun.

The Werribee Cup is the perfect place to meet your new neighbours and spend the day in the summer sun. There are free kids activities, Fashion on the Field and live entertainment as a backdrop to an incredible day of racing.
