Hollywoodbets Greyville is giving Friday night racing a distinctly Greek twist on 28 August, turning its latest Lucky Fish Friday Night Racing into an afternoon and evening of horse racing, food, music and plenty of reasons to shout “Opa!”
Gates open at 15:00, and general entry is free, making this an easy Friday outing for guests keen to catch the racing without the usual weekend admission cost.
The programme stretches well beyond the track too, with a Greek food fiesta, live music and entertainment, comedy, a Kidzone, bar specials and an after party all forming part of the celebrations.
- Music is a major part of the night. Kyle Deutsch and Sketchy Bongo will bring their sound to the Trackside Vibe, adding a distinctly Durban soundtrack to the racing action.
- Those looking for an additional entertainment option can book a seat in Hollywoodbets Greyville’s Classic Room for R150 per person, where Bash with Tash will take to the stage alongside DJ Law-T. It gives guests the option to turn race night into a full evening out, complete with racing first and entertainment afterwards.
The Greek theme is set to run through the occasion, so guests can expect a rather more festive race day than simply watching horses cross the finish line. Between the Greek food, live performances and after party, there is plenty happening once the racing conversation has moved on to who backed the right horse. With free general entry and entertainment for both adults and younger visitors, Lucky Fish Friday Night Racing at Hollywoodbets Greyville offers a lively way to start the weekend in Durban.
