Chiang Mai Flower Festival 2010
Date : 5 - 7 February 2010
Venue : Nong Buak Hat Park, Chiang Mai
If you are obsessed with beautiful flowers and decorative plants, this
is the festival for you. Experience these beautiful flower-decorated
floats and a magnificent tapestry of floral splendor that blankets the
land. There are also agricultural exhibitions, floral contents, and
product sales by local groups of housewives.
A highlight of the festival is the grand parade that attracts
sponsoring companies and organisations that beautify floats with
elaborate flower decorations, presenting an eco-tourism message or just
simply stealing the hearts of spectators with their vivid colours and
beauty.
The parade leads up to the annual beauty competition to crown the
city’s flower queen, who represents the flower growers and exporters as
an ambassador of good will.
Entertainment, an opportunity to dine on tasty northern snacks and view
cultural performances are clearly features that draw both visitors and
locals to this annual event.
Home and garden lovers discover Chiang Mai is a February showcase
for exotic orchids, flowering plants and blooms that thrive in the
northern valley’s temperate cool season.Particularly during the cool
season months, mid-November through to February, this northern
provinces justifies its title “Rose of the North.” But for flower
lovers, who flock to this annual festival, 6 to 8 February in the
town’s Buak Hat Park, there is far more to the town’s garden reputation
than the impressive display of elegant roses.
Since 1977 when the annual festival was inaugurated, it has earned a
reputation on par with similar events such as Japan Sakura Flower
Festival and the Netherlands’ flower parades. This was further enhanced
by the successful flower expo in 2006.
Due variations of climate and its mountain landscapes, the Chiang Mai
Flower Festival presents a diversity of blooms and flowers. Many of
them, originally imported from temperate climes such as carnations,
chrysanthemum, tulips, are displayed side-by-side with tropical flowers
including exotic orchids.
