Naas Racecourse is set to turn up the heat this June and July with the return of its much-loved Summer Season - an exciting blend of top-tier flat racing, vibrant live music, and unbeatable summer hospitality.
The season kicks off on Wednesday, 25th June with the Group 3 Al Shira’aa Racing Irish EBF Jannah Rose Stakes, a prestigious trial that has produced multiple Irish Oaks runners. This race is new to this card and promises to set the tone for a thrilling season. After the last race, fan favourites After Dark will take to the stage, kicking off the first of three lively summer evenings.
The action continues on Saturday, 5th July with a brand-new Listed race for two-year-olds, marking the first in the Irish EBF Pat Smullen Series. It’s a fitting tribute to a racing legend and a highly anticipated addition to the programme. The afternoon will be capped off with live music from No Limits, creating the perfect balance of sport, food and fun.
The final fixture of the series takes place on Wednesday, 23rd July, featuring the Listed Yeomanstown Stud Irish EBF Stakes, followed by a live performance from Spring Break, one of Ireland’s best-loved party bands.
While racing is at the heart of it all, the Naas Summer Season is just as much about the social scene. The popular BBQ Evenings offer elevated or casual packages - ideal for after-work get-togethers, staff parties, or simply a night out with friends.
“The Naas Summer Season is one of the highlights of our calendar, it combines quality racing with a brilliant social atmosphere,” said Aidan McGarry, General Manager at Naas Racecourse. “It’s a great opportunity to enjoy an evening or afternoon out with top-class sport, delicious BBQ food from our caterers Lily & Wild, and fantastic live music. We’re really looking forward to welcoming racegoers for what promises to be another memorable summer.” Early Bird General admission tickets are just €15 and include access to racing and live music. Hospitality packages are selling fast, so early booking is strongly advised.
