Overview

Frolic amidst the flowers in the picturesque Carlton Gardens before tucking into a feast fit for a king. Part of the Melbourne International Flower & Garden Show, Gardens by Twilight will welcome a convoy of food trucks to the grounds around the Royal Exhibition Centre for an after-dark picnic of the most spectacular kind.

You'll need a ticket to the show (they're $29.90) — but if you're somewhat interested in checking it out, this is the night to do it. Instead of finishing up at 5pm, the show will stay open until 9pm, lighting up the gardens with live music, food trucks and a bar. Once you've eaten your fill, you can wander around some of the highlights of the show by night, including special installations designed to be viewed by twilight.
