Each year from mid September to mid October, the national capital bursts into colour with Floriade, the largest spring festival in the southern hemisphere.

Floriade 2007 will present a uniquely Australian theme, focusing on great Australian icons. See great Aussie inventions, celebrities, landscapes, our sporting culture, history and much more represented in an incredible display of floral beauty and creativity. Over one million blooms flower at Floriade and each day brings something new, so plan to visit at least twice during this unmissable spring event.

Enjoy excellent Australian entertainment, fun activities for the kids, and an atmosphere of celebration, festivity and national pride. Shop for Australian made products, enjoy an ice cream in the spring sunshine, see a range of interesting gardening presentations and demonstrations and be amazed by the talents of competing floral artists.
