Spring is on the way, and it’s time to celebrate — with flowers. Across North America, spring blooms take center stage at a wide range of events that draw visitors and locals alike. There’s everything from large-scale seasonal festivals (like tulip or cherry blossom festivals) and competitive flower shows (like the Philadelphia Flower Show), to local garden tours, plant and flower sales, window decorating, and more.
Many of these events have run uninterrupted for 20 or more years, a testament to the ongoing appeal of these spring favorites.
A new arrival is the Flower Festival in Alpena, MI. The downtown comes alive each spring with beautiful floral creations made by local florist shops.
Visitors are invited to tour the downtown, snap a photo in front of spectacular floral backdrops, create their own bouquets, sip themed cocktails, and enjoy live music throughout the downtown.
Seasonal events and promotions are covered regularly in the pages of Downtown Idea Exchange newsletter.
