Australia’s Melbourne Cup Day, held the first Tuesday in November at Flemington Racecourse, in Melbourne, Victoria, is November 7 this year. It’s a state holiday, and most schools and businesses shut down to let everybody take part. About 100,000 people flock to Flemington, but the 3,200-meter turf race is televised live to about 650 million people around the world. “Cup Day,” as it’s popularly known, is the biggest horse racing event in Australia, home to more racecourses than any other country in the world. The day is part of a weeklong Melbourne Cup Carnival of festivities and fashion.
