Chiang Mai celebrates its annual Flower Festival with colourful parades, floats and cultural shows all through the old city. Taking place at Suan Buak Had public park in Muang District from February 5 to 7, this annual festival turns the park into an open-air exhibition venue where local and international visitors can marvel at a magnificent tapestry of floral splendour. An agricultural exhibition, flower arrangements and Miss Flower & Miss International Flower Blooming Beauty Contests add to the fun. One of the Festival’s highlights is the parade of elaborately decorated floral floats during the opening ceremony, which is being held on February 7.
