Premium Hospitality
Golden Oar is back for its second year. Athletes from more than twelve countries, racing for over $200,000 in prize money, in mixed quads, doubles and eights, right in front of you on Lake Burley Griffin.
Entry to the festival is free. Come down, bring the family, watch the racing from the bank.
The hospitality marquee is the other way to do it. Right on the water, looking straight down the course, with premium catering and Laurent-Perrier behind the bar. Four sessions across the weekend and you can take as many or as few as you like.
Need something for the kids? The Easy Oar Cafe and 15 Food Trucks on site offer a wide variety of affordable food options within easy walking distance of the VIP Marquee. There will be options available for attendees with dietary specific requirements.
