The Festival Of The Flowers
09 June 2011
Flowers are usually associated with the month of May in different parts of the globe. La Festival de Flores which translates to “Festival of the Flowers” is a flower festival that was originally celebrated annually every May since it first took place in 1956. By 1958 however, Medellin’s Festival of the Flowers was moved to August to celebrate the Independence of Antioquia. Since then, the festival became a week long annual celebration which takes place every August. Participating in the Festival of the Flowers is one of the most sought after things to do in Medellin each year. Not only is it the biggest celebration in Medellin but one of the best throughout Colombia as well.
