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.
 
 “Silks in the City” will leave an indelible mark on Johannesburg, transforming not just the landscape but also the hearts and minds of those who partake in the festivities. It’s a celebration of colour, culture, and community, reflecting the city’s dynamic spirit and the timeless elegance of the Betway Summer Cup.
 
So, Dress your best or be bold and colourful – join us for an unforgettable experience!
