Floriade 2009—12 September to 11 October
What is Floriade?
Floriade is the largest flower festival in the Southern Hemisphere with over one million blooms creating a stunning backdrop for Canberra’s month-long celebration of spring. The event boasts an exciting entertainment program with local, national and international performers on show, kids’ activities, garden workshops, exhibitions, displays and plenty of fine food and wine from across the Canberra region. It also encompasses Floriade NightFest, five exciting nights filled with outdoor movie screenings, music and much more to heat up the cool Canberra evenings. But while the music plays and the wine flows, it is always the flowers that are the star of the show, all planted out in eye-catching and unusual designs.
