Floriade first sprang to life in 1988, celebrating Canberra's 75th anniversary and the 200th anniversary of European settlement in Australia. What was initially planned as a one-time event quickly became a yearly tradition due to its spectacular success. Over time, Floriade has flourished and expanded, establishing itself as one of Australia's most celebrated flower festivals. Let's explore what makes this event so uniquely captivating.
Floriade typically takes place from mid-September to mid-October in Canberra's Commonwealth Park, situated alongside Lake Burley Griffin. During this time, the park transforms into a vibrant floral wonderland, showcasing over a million blooms arranged by talented gardeners and artisans.

The Floriade Festival offers free admission throughout its entire duration, allowing everyone to enjoy the event without any cost. However, for four nights from October 3-6, 2024 (with the schedule varying each year), the "Night Fest" takes place—an artistic lighting event that does require an entrance fee
For the 2024 "Night Fest" at the Floriade Festival, ticket prices are set at AUD 35 (approximately 600,000 VND) for adults, AUD 27 for children, and AUD 97 for a family pass. Children under 4 years old are free.
Over the course of its four-night duration, Night Fest is expected to attract more than 30,000 visitors this year. In the previous year, Night Fest, alongside the Floriade festival, brought an impressive total of 433,271 visitors to Commonwealth Park, generating over AUD 50 million in revenue for the city. This underscores the festival's tremendous popularity and significant economic impact, a huge number.
The main flowers here are different types of tulips, with full shapes and colors, such as purple, red, yellow, white, pink, ...
There are also Narcissus, Daisy, Bellis perennis, ... planted among the tulip garden.
Every year, Floriade is decorated with a different theme. This year, in its 37th year, Floriade will celebrate creativity with the theme “Art in Bloom”.
Beyond admiring and photographing the flowers, Floriade offers visitors a chance to enjoy live music performances, comedy acts, and diverse culinary delights from around the globe. The 2024 festival features renowned British singer Emma Price, New Zealand comedian Shay Horay, and burlesque legend Memphis Mae.
