Every spring, Escobar transforms into a botanical wonderland at the Fiesta Nacional de la Flor. Wander through vast exhibition halls and gardens, admire spectacular floral floats, and discover the chosen Flower of the Year against a backdrop of concerts, artisan markets, and floral mastery. This is South America’s ultimate flower fest.
Highlights:
Floral Exhibitions & Displays
Over 120 exhibitors showcase more than 400 varieties of flowers, plants, bonsai, orchids, succulents, and themed installations—including the immersive color-and-fragrance “tunnel” between pavilions.
Flower Symbol of the Year
Each edition honors a specific bloom. For example, the 61st festival selected the San Vicente (chrysanthemum) as its floral emblem, chosen for its prestige and rich cultural meaning.
Parade of Floral Floats
A breathtaking parade featuring elaborately adorned floral floats captivates visitors in early October.
Queen and Ambassador Contests
Local traditions like the National Flower Ambassador and occasionally a Children’s “Capullo” Queen, highlight community pride and beauty.
Cultural Events & Delights
Enjoy artisan crafts, live music, dance, food stalls, a dedicated kids’ zone, and even a paleontology exhibit featuring dinosaur replicas among the florals.
