Chiang Mai Flower Festival

The flower festival of Chiang Mai is held every year, usually a week before Valentine's Day, on the first weekend of February, in the city of Chiang Mai.

Date of the Chiang Mai Flower Festival 2021

The 2021 Flower Festival will be held from 5 to 7 February

Activities during the Chiang Mai Flower Festival

During the three-day Chiang Mai Flower Festival, the Rose of the North is covered in flowers with a parade of giant, richly decorated flower floats, uniformed bands from local schools and universities and dancers in traditional Thai costumes.

Floral arrangements, miniature trees, ornamental plants and flowers are all on display for the judges to choose the winner.

Although the large flower floats compete in creativity and beauty, the most popular competition is the beauty contest to crown the Chiang Mai Flower Queen.

Orchid lovers should not miss the opportunity to see the variety of beautiful orchids grown by the locals.

The city of Chiang Mai embellished and perfumed by all these flowers attracts a large number of visitors for the occasion.

Everyone wants to take or have their picture taken in front of the flower floats, carnations, chrysanthemums, bougainvilleas, orchids...

You can also find flowers, shrubs, seeds and pots of all kinds for sale at the stands.

If you are in the area, this is a really nice festival not to be missed.

Many of the activities and stalls are located around Tha Phae Gate, and on this occasion many of the roads in the city centre become pedestrianised.
