Western Australia's only beach horse race will return to the Rockingham foreshore this weekend.

The Rockingham Beach Cup spans across two days, starting on Saturday, November 14 with the Free Rotary Community Festival at Churchill Park.

Visitors can enjoy live music, artisan markets, food stalls, free family activities, family-friendly entertainment, gourmet food vendors and interactive activity zones from 1pm until 6pm, continuing on Sunday, November 15 from 10am to 5pm.

From 12pm on Sunday, the horse races begin featuring an all female line-up for a second year.

Visitors can watch on from the foreshore or for a better view, tickets can be purchased for the Palm Beach Oasis area.

The Rockingham Beach Cup, which was first staged in 2016 by the Rotary Club of Palm Beach WA, is a community-focused racing experience, with no betting and no whips used.

Funds raised through the Rockingham Beach Cup support important causes, including Variety – the Children’s Charity, MSWA, and Palm Beach Rotary community projects.
