What is "floriade"

Floriade is the name of several flower events:

• Floriade (Canberra), a flower festival held annually in Canberra, Australia.
• Floriade (Netherlands), a large flower and gardening exhibition held every 10 years in the Netherlands.

Floriade is an international exhibition and garden festival, held every 10 years in the Netherlands. All have been World Horticultural Expositions and listed as an A1 category exhibition by the International Association of Horticultural Producers and hence recognized by the Bureau of International Expositions. The next Floriade will be held in 2022 in Almere.

Floriade is a flower and entertainment festival held annually in Canberra's Commonwealth Park featuring extensive displays of flowering bulbs with integrated sculptures and other artistic features. Floriade comes from the Latin word floriat, which means to design with flowers.

The festival attracts tourists from around Australia and overseas in spring from mid September to mid October each year, and is considered the most important regular event for tourism in the Australian Capital Territory. It is also called "Australia's Celebration of Spring". After some controversy regarding an entry charge, admission to Floriade has been free for a number of years.
