Madeira Flower Festival 2023

Celebrate spring in the most impressive and sumptuous way in the island of Madeira! The Island is a nature lovers paradise, known as 'The Floating Garden in the Atlantic', thanks to its vibrant colored flowers throughout the year. 

During the Flower Festival, Funchal (the Island's capital), is filled is colors and scents from floral boats, Avenida Arriaga gets covered with flower carpets, while parades and folkloric performances take place daily while the celebration of the Island is in full bloom.
