20 – 21 Aug

Daffodil Day at Rialto

  • Free
  • Community

Rialto will once again transform into a stunning daffodil floral display in support of Cancer Council Victoria’s Daffodil Day Appeal.

The Rialto Tower will come alive with a striking 6-metre-high hot air balloon installation, floating above a field of 38,715 vibrant daffodils – each one symbolising a Victorian diagnosed with cancer every year.

Daffodils will be available to purchase in the Rialto Plaza from 8am to 6pm each day until sold out, with small and large bunches of fresh daffodils from $12 and all proceeds going to Cancer Council Victoria, to support fund life-saving research and support services.
