Happy Valley is gearing up for the return of Happy French Wednesday next week.
Kicking off a series of Parisian-inspired midweek evenings, the racecourse will transform under the city lights to celebrate French culture, cuisine and sports throughout the remainder of May.
The festivities will begin on Wednesday, anchored by the prestigious France Galop Cup and French May Trophy on the track. Beyond the races, the evening will feature live entertainment from dynamic musical duo Mikey Martin and Amel Fouad, setting the mood with French grooves for those looking to dance.
Revelers can also capture the night at a dedicated "French Selfie Corner" or test their knowledge at the "Wheel of Games," which features a French Culture Challenge with various prizes.
The midweek Parisian theme continues as the month progresses. The May 20 gathering will highlight culinary experiences, offering curated French GourMay food and beverage pairings from 1664 and Savoie wine trucks, alongside classic dishes like Provencal Beef Stew, Croque Madame, and Hazelnut Paris Brest.
The series wraps up on May 27 with the Sauternes Cup, where racing is paired with a Sauternes wine activation and signature cocktails.
It's shaping up to be a relaxed, culturally rich way to spend a Wednesday evening in the city, where racing and French flair effortlessly collide.
