Immerse yourself in fields of colourful flowers this autumn at the Tesselaar KaBloom Festival of Flowers. Wander through the stunning gardens, and be greeted by millions of bright blooms. After admiring the vivid blossoms, stay a little longer and have fun with circus performers, tractor rides, food and more. Head out to the Dandenong Ranges, and see this festival from March 23 to April 21.
Tesselaar KaBloom Festival of Flowers
The festival will take place across four glorious weeks, with millions of plantings across five acres of flower beds. Last year, the fields were filled with plenty of colourful blooms, including blue salvias, hot pink calibrachoas, bright sunflowers, dreamy wildflower meadows and more. The event this year promises to be just as spectacular.
Once again, the circus will return to KaBloom, ready to thrill you with their incredible acts. The troupe of artists from Circus Oz will delight and surprise you with daredevil feats, acrobatics, juggling, hula hoops, aerial rings and more fun routines. Watch these performers transform into flower fairies, sprites and pixies, with plenty of side shows to keep you entertained. If you feel particularly inspired, the team at Ruccis Circus will be there with workshops so that you can learn the tricks of the trade. These workshops will take place on most days of the festival.
Kids will have plenty of fun at Tesselaar KaBloom, with a tractor train ride around the farm, storytelling in the fairy garden, garden games, face painting, and even rabbit hunts over the Easter long weekend.
There will be plenty of local and international food to try, so you don’t have to go hungry. Expect delicious treats like German sausages, scones, Dutch Poffertjes, gozleme, ice cream and more. There’s also tea, coffee and cold drinks, including beer, wine and cider, available at the festival.
Of course, you’re welcome to bring your own picnic, and eat it in the beautiful gardens. Dogs can come along, as long as they are on a leash.
After a day in the fields, go shopping in the nursery and take home some plants for yourself. Then, find something magical in the Fairy Shop, or something sweet in the Lolly Shop. There will also be a Souvenir Shop, and a Flower Market filled with seasonal blooms.
