Floriade 2026: Feast of Flowers

Come hungry for colour. Leave full of inspiration.

This year’s theme celebrates the joyful meeting of nature, food and community. Inspired by seasonal harvests and the rituals of gathering, cooking and sharing meals, Feast of Flowers invites visitors to experience spring through all the senses.

Garden bed designs will reflect the abundance of the season, drawing on edible landscapes, florals that echo fresh produce, and the pleasure of outdoor dining and shared experiences.

The theme will come to life through a vibrant program connecting visitors with local growers, producers and businesses, both onsite at Floriade and across the city.

Dense rows of pink, red, yellow and blue flowers planted in layered bands across a garden bed.
