Expect the unexpected at Tesselaar KaBloom, Festival of Flowers this autumn.
A carnival of colour will light up the Dandenong Ranges at this year’s vibrant festival held from 28 March-19 April.
There is nothing quite like Tesselaar KaBloom, which provides a family day out and a spectacular show where circus arts and flowers collide.
Festival director, Paul Tesselaar said the festival is bigger and brighter than ever before, both in and out of the fields.
“With our world class circus entertainment, along with acres of stunning blooms, Tesselaar Kabloom promises to be an event that will delight every member of the family,” he said.
Visitors can wander through fields of Marigolds, Salvias, Cosmos, Cleomes, Petunias, Geraniums and more.
Roll up to a show as Cirque de Bloom Spectacular sees flower fairies, sprites and pixies emerge from the magical woods to delight and entertain amid the colourful blooms.
A troupe of circus artists from Melbourne’s own Strange Fruit will perform scheduled shows every day.
New this year, Tesselaar has planted two whimsical wild flower meadows providing floral enchantment at its finest and an instagrammers dream.
As always, children are a priority at Tesselaar KaBloom with a full program dedicated to fun and creativity.
There will be appearances from Peppa Pig and George (30 March-3 April) and Ben and Holly (6-10 April), circus workshops, drumming workshops, Tractor Train, storytelling by resident fairy Teague, treasure hunts, garden games, an obstacle course, face painting, a crate maze and Easter egg hunts.
This year’s festival offers an opportunity to visit fabulous fields filled with millions of colourful blooms, live entertainment, activities for all the family, delicious food and market
stalls to satisfy the shopaholic in anyone.
The event continues to grow and last year was listed as a finalist (smaller Festivals and Events category) in the RACV Victorian Tourism Awards.
Tesselaar KaBloom, Festival of Flowers will be held at 357-359 Monbulk Road, Silvan.
Adult tickets cost $26.50, concession $23.50 and children under 16 are free.
