THE THEME: SILKS IN THE CITY
This year’s Betway Summer Cup 2024, themed “Silks in the City,” promises to bring Johannesburg alive with bold colours and vibrant silks, intertwining the elegance of horse racing with the dynamic spirit of the city.
Inspired by the traditional jockey silks, known for their bright hues and intricate patterns, “Silks in the City” aims to infuse Johannesburg with the same sense of style and vibrancy. Historically symbols of a jockey’s identity and their horse’s prowess, these silks now extend their influence beyond the racecourse, wrapping the city in their lively essence.
Beyond the races, “Silks in the City” offers a rich tapestry of experiences. Guests can enjoy gourmet food and drinks, live music, and cultural performances that showcase the city’s diverse talents. Fashion also becomes a focal point, with designers presenting collections inspired by the vibrant silks, merging high fashion with the spirited theme of the event.
