Walking Thomastown is back this year, and it’s shaping up to be one of those evenings that stays with you long after the sun goes down.
On Saturday, 30 August 2025, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM, families, friends, and neighbours will take to the streets, trails, and parks of Thomastown to celebrate community, art, and a little bit of community magic.
The beauty and the joy of this beautiful evening come from the moments we share and the connections we make with those around us.
And when it comes to sharing love, nothing speaks quite like flowers.
Since 2006, we’ve proudly served the community as Lalor’s most reliable florist, and in this blog, we’ll show you which flowers are perfect to bring to the event and why.
Why Walking Thomastown Feels Special
As our local streets get ready to glow with neon lights, vibrant projections, and colourful installations on 30 August, the night will carry a beauty that draws everyone closer.
Walking along the trail, you’ll be surrounded by live music from young local talents and the colour of cultural dance performances.
The walking trail stretches about 2 kilometres, taking roughly 30 minutes to stroll. It begins at the Main Street Recreation Reserve, winds alongside Edgars Creek, passes the historic Ziebell’s Farm, and finishes at Westgarthtown.
With glimpses of Thomastown’s rich history and the warmth of its community spirit along the trail, the experience becomes one that kids, grandparents, and neighbours alike can share in.

Flowers Give Delicate Touches That Speak Volumes
Even in a night full of lights and performances, it goes without saying that flowers have a way of standing out.
As this event is about connection—people walking, chatting, enjoying performances—nothing reflects the local community spirit like the locally grown, hand-picked flowers you can find at Thanks A Bunch.
As one of Lalor’s trusted florists, we stock countless flower arrangements that will help you to show you care, and whether it’s a neighbour you often pass by or a friend attending the walk, handing over a bouquet communicates kindness without needing words.
The best part is, if you place your order by 12 pm on Saturday, 30th of August, you’ll qualify for same-day flower delivery.
Choosing the Right Flowers for the Evening
If you’re wondering what to pick on this memorable day, here’s a simple guide:
For neighbours: A compact, hand-tied bouquet works perfectly when giving a small gift to neighbours during Walking Thomastown. Go for flowers like daisies, chrysanthemums, or mini roses that stay vibrant for a few hours, even without water.
For friends: Try bright, cheerful flower arrangements to share with friends on the trail with you. Sunflowers, tulips, or gerberas mirror the festival’s vibrant lights, and try to mix colours to keep the vibe playful and celebratory together.
Durable and easy to carry: It is a walk after all, so try to avoid delicate petals that bruise easily. We suggest choosing sturdy stems like lilies, carnations, or eucalyptus, and consider a small wrap or water tube to keep them fresh until gifting.

A bouquet or flower arrangement from Thanks a Bunch, your trusted Lalor florist, given to a neighbour, parent, or loved one, can make the evening linger long after it ends.
