The World Sports Betting Cape Town Met returns to Hollywoodbets Kenilworth Racecourse on 31 January 2026, once again securing its place as South Africa’s premier lifestyle spectacle. Each year, this iconic event draws national and international attention, and the 2026 edition promises even more excitement with its imaginative theme: Symphony of Style. This concept invites guests to unlock a new dimension of creativity, blending artistic self-expression with the vibrant energy of Cape Town.
"The World Sports Betting Cape Town Met is a hallmark of glamour and culture, noting that this is a day to embrace the luxurious and the theatrical, and to be immersed in a seamless blend of style, spectacle and sensory indulgence, whether you're in exclusive VIP spaces or enjoying the grandstand seating.”
Donovan Everitt, - COO of Race Coast
The 2026 theme, Symphony of Style, opens the door to bold artistic interpretation. From the moment guests arrive, they step into a multisensory experience where the rhythm of horse racing blends beautifully with the artistry of fashion. Moreover, the pulse of music and movement enhances the atmosphere, creating a dramatic yet elegant setting.
Attendees are encouraged to interpret the theme through dramatic couture, surrealist touches, bold experimentation, understated refinement, or anything in between. With this freedom, every outfit becomes a work of art.






At the heart of the festivities is world-class racing, headlined by the prestigious World Sports Betting Cape Town Met (2000m). All eyes will once again turn to leading trainer Justin Snaith as he pursues an unprecedented fourth consecutive victory. Still, the true magic of the day comes from the guests themselves, who bring the Symphony of Style theme to life through their creativity and personal flair.
With the continued support of World Sports Betting, the 2026 Cape Town Met is poised to set a new standard for stylish entertainment in South Africa. From the curated atmosphere to the community energy that defines this iconic occasion, the event promises an unforgettable fusion of racing, fashion and culture.
Therefore, don’t miss your opportunity to compose your own masterpiece.
