FESTIVALS & EVENTS
Alexandra Pro Rodeo
The 10th annual Alexandra Pro Rodeo has been postponed from January due to bushfires. However, they have pushed it back to March and turned it into a fantastic bushfire recovery event. More bands, more stages, more fun around the arena and just as much rodeo action.
This event continues to be regarded as one of the favourite rodeos on the APRA circuit by cowboys, cowgirls and attendees alike. Beyond a full afternoon of action on the arena, visitors can enjoy food stalls, kids amusements, markets and merchandise, bars, and entertainment on the main stage until midnight.
Make a weekend of it, and enjoy the rest that the local region has to offer on the best weekend in March. Proceeds from this event will go directly back to supporting impacted communities following the January 2026 bushfires.
Gather and Bloom Twilight Pick
Gather and Bloom Twilight Pick is a unique seasonal event at Bloom Into You Flower Farm. 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 elevate their evening with The Bloom Graze for Two, a premium picnic box, or relax at their styled Bloom Table for eight.
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, a luxury accommodation overlooking the flower farm, to complete their country escape.
Numbers are limited to maintain an intimate feel. Early bookings are essential.
