The City of Rockingham has thrown its support behind the Rockingham Beach Cup to be held in November.
Organised by the Palm Beach Rotary Club, the Cup is a two-day event that will see six horse races along the Rockingham Beach Foreshore.
The event has previously ran in 2016 and 2017, and draws around 30,000 people.
It is believed the 2017 event contributed approximately $1 million to the Rockingham economy.
Mayor Barry Sammels said the City was delighted to be able to welcome the return of the Cup in 2019.
“The Rockingham Beach Cup is an iconic event that plays an important role in boosting the local economy and also the profile of our City,” Mayor Sammels said.
“Attracting and retaining iconic events like the Rockingham Beach Cup is a key part of the City’s Tourist Destination Strategy, so naturally Council was keen to support Palm Beach Rotary Club and their efforts to host the event.
“With the Rockingham Beach Foreshore Revitalisation set to be finished very soon, we can expect to see a world class event hosted at a truly stunning foreshore location.”
