Overview

Floriade, Australia's Biggest Celebration of Spring, returns to Commonwealth Park.

Blooming under the theme Feast of Flowers, this year's festival celebrates the natural connection between garden, table, and community. Over one million blooms will fill the park, with garden bed designs drawing inspiration from seasonal harvests, where florals echo the colours and textures of fresh produce.

The program brings the spirit of feasting to life across entertainment, music, food and wine, workshops, market stalls, interactive exhibits, family-friendly activities and more.

Beyond the gates, look for spring colour planted by Floriade Community members throughout Canberra's suburbs, visit Floriade's Satellite Site at Historic Lanyon Homestead, and discover local restaurants, cafes, bars, retailers, hotels, and cultural institutions joining the celebration as part of Floriade About Town.
