With sunshine, good vibes, and a jam-packed program, you can be assured that your Spring calendar will be full of pleasant surprises.

Running until October 14, Floriade promises to bring a stack of events for everyone to enjoy. To give you an idea of just how diverse this year’s program is, you can expect to see events like Terrarium Workshops with Moxom + Whitney, Doga in the Park with Flow Yoga, Morning Walks, Fashion Awards, and a bunch of fascinating talks and workshops.

A key highlight of the festival is Floriade Nightfest; a unique opportunity to experience the wonder of the flowers by nightfall.

Transforming the capital, this year’s Nightfest has stepped it up a notch. With an all-star cast of DJ’s, Musicians, Comedians, and Talks, your nights will be anything but boring. You can expect to see names like Arj Barker, Akmal Saleh, Matt Okine, Kate Miller-Heidke, Lucy Sugarman, Ashley Feraude, and Thelma Plum to name a few.
