Richmond Turf Club – Picnic Races

The Richmond Picnic Races are a much-loved North West Queensland tradition, bringing people together for a day of country racing, connection, and celebration. Families, friends, and visitors gather with picnic baskets and eskies for a relaxed day out, cheering on the horses and enjoying the vibrant atmosphere. More than a race meet, it’s a chance to strengthen community ties, catch up with old friends, and meet new ones. With fashions on the field and plenty of opportunities to socialise, the Picnic Races highlight the importance of coming together in the spirit of fun and wellbeing.
