Cactus Country is thrilled to announce we are hosting our Halloween ‘Fright Fest’ on the 28th October between 5.30pm and 9.30pm.

Our 12-acre gardens have been transformed into a spooky paradise, the perfect home for witches and ghosts… so be careful as you make your way through our exciting scavenger hunt! This is the perfect event for the whole family – including the dog (as long as they are on a lead). Don’t forget to bring along a torch if you are feeling brave enough to explore the gardens after dark.

We are looking forward to seeing all our guests dressed up for the event, with the incentive of a Halloween fancy dress competition where amazing prizes are up for grabs!

Staged photo areas make the perfect background for pictures with your family and friends, with props available to add a touch of Mexico.

So, grab a frozen margarita, have a jump on the bouncy castle and enjoy some food from the BBQ all whilst watching the spectacular sunset over Strathmerton.

Our plant sales will also be open throughout the event, for you find a prickly friend to call your own!

Tickets will be available closer to the date!

See you there!

Cactus Country invites you to celebrate the vibrant beauty of life at our Dia de Los Muertos event!

Immerse yourself in a sea of colour and music as you wander through our stunning flower-filled altar and sugar skull displays, all set to the lively tunes of live mariachi music. As the sun dips below the horizon, get ready for a spectacular fire dance performance that will leave you on the edge of your seat.

After the show, take a leisurely stroll through our 12-acre garden, open late for your viewing pleasure. The soft glow of the moon will create a truly magical atmosphere. Don’t forget to bring your torch to guide your way!

Indulge in delicious flavours from The Happy Mexican, one of Melbourne’s favourite restaurants. Their authentic dishes are sure to satisfy your cravings and add to the festive atmosphere.

Capture unforgettable memories in our colourfully decorated courtyards, you’ll really feel like you’ve travelled to Mexico! And don’t forget to dress up in your finest attire, as we celebrate life and its precious moments!

Dia de Los Muertos, an ancient Aztec tradition, honors the memory of loved ones who have passed on. It’s a time for families and friends to come together, pay tribute to those we’ve lost, and cherish the gift of life.

Join us in this joyful celebration of life, love, and remembrance. Book your tickets online or visit Cactus Country to reserve your spot today. We can’t wait to share this special evening with you!
