flower festivals

Floral parade events

Flower festivals are organized public celebrations centered on flowers, typically held when particular blooms are at their peak.

They range from local tulip festivals and cherry blossom viewings to elaborate parades with floral floats.

Some mark agricultural heritage or seasonal transitions: We drove to Holland, Michigan for the tulip festival.

The Japanese practice of hanami—gathering to appreciate cherry blossoms—represents one of the oldest flower festival traditions.
