Bloom

Experience the magic of spring across the Bendigo region. From vibrant tulip displays and colourful floral installations to seasonal experiences and events designed to awaken your senses. Take a stroll through the golden Cornella Canola Walk or explore Loddon's stunning natural landscape bursting with life.

This year's Bloom program brings over 60 events to the Bendigo region, inviting you to connect with the beauty of the season, from food and wine festivals to family-friendly activities in charming country towns where spring's colours spill into every street. Savour boutique cellar doors serving the region's finest drops or join guided walks through open gardens and cultural landscapes adorned with wildflowers.

From 18 September to 4 October, Bendigo Botanic Gardens welcomes 11 new residents: the Spring Bloom Gnomes! Embark on a fun-filled quest through the Heritage Gardens and Garden for the Future to find all of the cheeky gnomes. Follow the footprints on the map and tick off each gnome as you find them.

More key events include Bendigo Annual Tulip Display, Cornella Canola Walk, Loddon Valley Arts Festival and Bloom After Dark.

Please visit their website for information on event dates.

Whether you're seeking a weekend escape, a cultural experience or a nature-filled adventure, Bloom invites you to immerse yourself in the colour, creativity and seasonal beauty of the Bendigo region.
