Floriade is Canberra's signature spring event, transforming Commonwealth Park into a dazzling carpet of tulips, daffodils, and other seasonal flowers. Running from mid-September to mid-October, the festival features themed garden beds, sculptures, live music, and food stalls. Visitors can stroll along Lake Burley Griffin, take a ride on the Ferris wheel for panoramic views, or join a horticultural workshop. It's a joyful celebration of spring that draws families, gardeners, and photographers from across Australia.
