  • Floriade
Developed in 1988 as a grand, one off floral tribute to mark Australia’s Bicentenary and Canberra’s 75th anniversary, Floriade has become Canberra’s most iconic annual tourism event and Australia’s premier spring festival.

The floral display of more than a million bulbs and annuals planted across 8,000 square metres of inner city parkland is more than just a flower show. Floriade is a diverse, ever expanding program of music, cultural celebrations, food and wine, horticultural workshops, market traders, artistic displays, entertainment and recreational activities.

For further Floriade 2019 information, stay updated via the official Floriade website and social media accounts.

“Floriade fizzle”

Reviewed on 03/02/2019

We have been every year but one to Floriade since is stared. It is now more about the food, shops and sideline marketing than the flowers. Sad to see the flowers disappear to make room for more food...

“Floriade”

Reviewed on 22/01/2019

Being my first time at Floriade, the displays were second to none. The amenities and parking were also tops. Well done Canberra - you sure know how to put on a show.
