Canberra's annual Floriade and Bowral's Tulip Time Festival is a celebration of spring that attracts thousands of visitors from around the world. This event takes place in Canberra, Australia's capital city, during September and October when the city's parks and gardens are awash with vibrant colours and fragrances. The festival showcases a spectacular display of bountiful tulips and other spring flowers and transforms the city into a vibrant spectacle of colour.
Floriade, which is the largest flower festival in the Southern Hemisphere, is a month-long event that features a variety of activities and events for people of all ages. Visitors can enjoy musical performances, cultural displays, food and wine stalls, and a range of other family-friendly activities. While the main drawcard is the flowers of Floriade, you can also learn from the experts at the various horticulture workshops, be inspired with tips on permaculture and ecological gardening or embark on a gnome hunt – as the intricately painted garden gnomes make a starring feature throughout the festival display. One of the highlights of Floriade is the NightFest, a magical evening event that transforms the gardens into an illuminated wonderland, complete with live music, roving performers, and a range of interactive displays.
