With live music and festival-style events in short supply, 91.1 Hot FM’s Ladies Oaks Day is set to deliver one of the best-value entertainment experiences on the Sunshine Coast.
The over-18s event returns on Friday, May 29, at Sunshine Coast Turf Club’s Corbould Park racecourse in Caloundra, featuring Will Sparks live on stage after the final race.
Renowned as the Coast’s hottest annual party, Ladies Oaks Day combines twilight racing, fashion, food, DJs and live music into a full day-to-night experience.
Organisers say this year offers more inclusions and better value than ever, particularly for those who buy early online.
“With so many live music options disappearing, we’re proud to be offering a major entertainment experience that genuinely delivers value for money,” Sunshine Coast Turf Club chief executive John Miller says.
And 91.1 Hot FM general manager Rod Winner adds: “When you look at everything included with live thoroughbred horse racing, touring DJs, Will Sparks, hospitality and activations, buying tickets online now, especially with a value pack, is an absolute steal.”
A highlight of the day is the Rafter Myers Fashions on the Field, styled by Soda Fashion Haus. This year’s theme celebrates soft, sun-washed palettes, timeless silhouettes and modern femininity. Prizes will be awarded for Best Millinery, Best Dressed Female (18–39), Best Dressed Female (40+) and Best Dressed Male.
Now in its 21st year, Ladies Oaks Day continues its strong community focus. The long-standing partnership between 91.1 HotFM and Sunshine Coast Turf Club has raised more than $215,000 for charitable organisations, with STEPS named as the 2026 charity partner, supporting people with disability.
“We’re incredibly grateful to our sponsors and partners who make this event possible,” Rod says.
“Their support allows us to create an unforgettable day, while giving back to the community, and we’re hopeful of a big turnout again this year.”
