Floriade 2017 Is Almost Here

It’s the most wonderful time of the year
There’ll be much Floriade-ing
And hearts will be glowing
When love ones are near
It’s the most wonderful time
Yes the most wonderful time
Oh the most wonderful time
Of the year

The above is the classic tune that many locals will begin humming as the nations largest festival of flowers prepares to take over the capital with over 1,000,000 blubs about to spring into season at Floriade 2017.

Starting things off on September 15, the team at Floriade will host the Twilight Concert with the Canberra Symphony Orchestra and The Ziggy Band, a David Bowie tribute act. Tickets are limited to this one and will no doubt sell out, so head over HERE to snap those ones up.

Then on the morning of September 16, Floriade will officially open as the capital is doused in shades of colour. The festival runs until October 15 and will be jam packed with a stack of events to get amongst. From Morning Walks to a range of Markets the capital will be transformed as the season changes and the weather begins to warm just that little bit.

If you find yourself looking for a well-deserved break in the capital, this would be the time to make it happen. QT Canberra would love to host your next getaway and it just so happens that we have a number of packages to suit anyone looking to escape to Canberra. Check them out HERE.

With Floriade sure to draw a crowd, we’ll be sure to bring you all the highlights from the festival of damn good looking flowers so you don’t miss a moment of it. Stay close to our Instagram and Facebook pages to be sure you’re in the loop.
