The Secret Garden music festival will be held for the final time in February after organisers pulled the plug on the popular annual event.

Held at the Downes’ family farm in Brownlow Hill, the festival has been a trendy event among young people in the region for the past 11 years.

In an announcement on their Facebook page, organisers posted this year’s One Last Night in Paradise event would be the festival’s last hurrah.

“We have known for a long time that Secret Garden 2019 would be our last year,” the post said.
“We have always wanted to go out with a big bang and the stars have aligned for this year to be the perfect time to drop the mic and say, Secret Garden — 11 and out.

“We started Secret Garden because we desperately wanted a different kind of festival experience. A festival less about the headliners and irritable crowds, and more about getting together a community of good people, in over-the-top costumes and creating a world where patrons participate rather than just spectate.”

Limited extra tickets have been made available to this year’s event on February 22-24.

Over the years the charity has raised more than $500,000 for charity.

About 5000 people attended the sold-out three-day festival in 2017, with 26 festival-goers issued court infringement notices for drug offences.
