A Blossoming Tradition
For over six decades, the Flower Festival has been an integral part of Girona's cultural calendar, typically held in May when the city's mild Mediterranean climate provides the perfect backdrop for showcasing an array of flowers and plants. Local residents, businesses, and artists collaborate to adorn the city with intricate floral installations, creating a sensory experience that celebrates nature, creativity, and community spirit.
