Race Coast is set to transform Hollywoodbets Greyville into Durban’s newest Friday night destination when Lucky Fish Friday Night Racing launches on Friday, 7 August, combining thrilling horse racing with the vibrant sights, sounds and flavours of South Korea.
The evening marks the return of Friday night racing and celebrates the visit of a Korean racing delegation, creating a unique fusion of Korean culture and South African hospitality. Guests can look forward to an unforgettable social experience that extends far beyond the racetrack.
From the moment racegoers arrive, they will be immersed in a lively Korean-inspired atmosphere featuring themed décor, traditional entertainment, K-Pop performances, live music, roaming entertainers and a vibrant night market feel.
Food lovers will be spoilt for choice with an exciting range of Korean street food favourites, including Korean Fried Chicken, Korean BBQ, Corn Dogs, Bubble Tea, Bingsu and a variety of authentic desserts, while families can enjoy a dedicated Kids Zone packed with entertainment throughout the evening.
For those looking to elevate their evening, the popular Durban View will offer a relaxed hospitality experience at R325 per person, featuring racecourse views, betting facilities, a Korean-inspired menu and the ever-popular Sip & Paint experience.
While the racing remains the hero of the evening, Lucky Fish Friday Night Racing is designed to showcase that a night at Hollywoodbets Greyville is about so much more than the action on the track.
Whether you’re a racing enthusiast, foodie, family looking for a fun evening out, or simply searching for something different to do after work, Friday Night Racing offers the perfect mix of sport, entertainment and culture.
The launch forms part of Race Coast’s ongoing commitment to creating vibrant race day experiences that appeal to new audiences while celebrating the international connections that continue to strengthen South African racing.
Racegoers are encouraged to embrace the Korean theme, enjoy the entertainment, experience the flavours of Seoul and soak up the electric atmosphere under the lights at Hollywoodbets Greyville.
