Bolobek Garden Fair 2026

Bolobek Garden Fair

The Bolobek Garden Fair is a vibrant celebration of horticultural excellence, offering a delightful weekend filled with guest speakers, garden tours, and over 50 unique stallholders. Join us in 2026 for an unforgettable experience set against the picturesque backdrop of Mount Macedon and one of Victoria's most historic gardens. Keep an eye out for ticket sales from late August 2026. Bolobek's historic gardens during the Fair Visitors to Bolobek Garden Fair can enjoy access to the historic gardens either as a self-guided experience or on one of the scheduled garden tours. About the Bolobek Garden Fair Since its inception in 2003, The Bolobek Garden Fair has grown to become one of the largest and most popular garden fairs in Victoria, hosting over 50 specialist and unique stallholders with over 3,000 people attending annually. The Mount Macedon & District Horticultural Society began hosting the annual Garden Lovers’ Fair in 2003 within the carpark of the Mount Macedon Golf Club. The Fair quickly outgrew this venue and was moved, in 2013, to the grounds of Bolobek, one of Victoria’s most historically significant gardens. Now known as the “Bolobek Garden Fair,” the event is managed and operated by an independent organising committee passionate about providing opportunities for horticultural and environmentally focused community groups and organisations across the Macedon Ranges. The Committee remains committed to ensuring that profits from future fairs are reinvested back into the Macedon Ranges community to facilitate the continued delivery of important programs and projects and to support services that benefit residents and the community more broadly.

Bolobek Garden Fair Address 370 Mount Macedon Road, Macedon VIC 10am to 4pm each day 3 & 4October 2026
