flower festival

Floral parade event

A flower festival is a public celebration centered on flowers, typically held in spring or early summer when blooms are at their peak.

These events feature floral displays, garden tours, parades with flower-covered floats, and competitions for best arrangements: The town's annual flower festival draws visitors from across the region.

Some are tied to specific blooms—cherry blossom festivals in Japan, tulip festivals in the Netherlands.
