FESTIVALS & EVENTS
Dindi Daze
Dindi Daze, now in its second year, is a fun-filled, family-focused celebration of everything that makes Murrindindi great. Held in Rotary Park, this year’s event builds on the success of its inaugural year and has evolved to place even greater emphasis on families and community members.
The day will feature a range of children’s activities, including free face painting, games, and competitions. A highlight will be the mobile animal farm, where children will have the opportunity to pat, feed, and hold the animals.
Local performers will provide entertainment throughout the event, creating a lively and inclusive atmosphere. Visitors can enjoy food, local craft beers, wines, and spirits, as well as arts and crafts stalls, an historic vehicle display, and even steam train rides.
A range of community-based stalls focused on mental health, healthy ageing, and support for victims of family violence, further strengthening Dindi Daze’s and Rotary’s commitment to community wellbeing.
The focus of Dindi Daze is to bring the Murrindindi community together to celebrate everything that makes our region special and, of course, to have some fun. The event also aims to attract visitors and tourists, providing an opportunity to showcase local talent, including our region’s musicians, art, crafts, food, wine, and beer.
Gather and Bloom Twilight Pick
Gather and Bloom Twilight Pick is a unique seasonal event at Bloom Into You Flower Farm in Flowerdale, Victoria. Just over one hour from Melbourne, this immersive twilight experience invites visitors to explore a boutique flower farm as the sun sets, gather their own blooms, and enjoy an evening of food, music, and connection in a serene country setting.
Stroll along grassy pathways lined with dahlias, zinnias, and cosmos glowing in the golden hour light. Breathe in the scent of fresh blooms and listen as gentle acoustic music drifts across the fields. Guests can savour wood-fired pizza served under summer’s twilight while relaxing into the warm, welcoming atmosphere.
Perfect for Melbourne day trips and weekend getaways, this seasonal event offers stunning photography opportunities, hands-on floral activities, and a memorable connection to Victoria’s rural beauty. Visitors are encouraged to linger, soak up the peaceful surroundings, and leave with a hand-picked bouquet as a memento of their evening.
As part of A Summer in Bloom, guests may also enjoy Brunch Among the Blooms, a premium long-table dining experience, or stay overnight at Villa Minto, luxury accommodation overlooking the flower farm, to complete their country escape.
Numbers are limited to maintain an intimate feel. Early bookings are essential.
