Tuesday has been reimagined and revitalised as Tribes Tuesday, a celebration of community spirit and local pride.
This year, clubs and teams from across Galway are invited to bring their tribe to Ballybrit, uniting supporters, families, and friends to create an atmosphere buzzing with friendly rivalry.
Throughout the day, these local teams will compete to win valuable fundraising support for their clubs. Music and entertainment add to the uplifting energy, turning the course into one big gathering of tribes and giving racegoers a vibrant, feel‑good festival experience.
On the track, all eyes turn to the prestigious Colm Quinn BMW Mile Handicap, Tuesday’s feature race and one of the highlights of the week. With a relaxed, family‑friendly atmosphere and that unmistakable Galway charm, Tribes Tuesday celebrates belonging bringing your people together for racing, entertainment, and moments worth sharing.
