Secret Garden.
Secret Garden was a two day music festival hosted by the Downes Family. Secret Garden started in 2009 with 300 attendees. Over it’s 11 year history it rose to 5,000 attendees, selling out each year. It also won many awards and acknowledgements for the ‘best music festival’.
Not only was Secret Garden a lot of fun, it raised almost $500,000 for local and international charities.
