Stand Tall for Daffodil Day

  • Free
  • Community

This Daffodil Day, a giant 4-metre-tall daffodil will take centre stage in the main retail plaza, standing tall and surrounded by thousands of real daffodils as a symbol of strength, remembrance, and the hope for a cancer-free future.

Come by, snap a photo under Melbourne’s tallest daffodil, grab a bunch of fresh daffodils for just $12, or donate directly to the Cancer Council. Every dollar helps fund life-saving research, support services, and hope for those affected by cancer.
