Living up to the name ‘Rose of the North,’ Chiang Mai will be organizing its annual Chiang Mai Flower Festival

from 2-4 February 2018 to showcase its beautiful flowers and decorative plants.

These will be in full bloom towards the end of the winter season in early February.

Suan Buak Hat Park will be transformed into an open-air exhibition centre

where you can find a magnificent tapestry of floral splendor, agricultural exhibitions, and floral displays, contests, and sales.

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

The festival also features flower-decorated floats that parade around the city showing the vibrant colored flowers

as well as dancers in traditional costumes.

 

The big parade

The most important day of the Chiang Mai Flower Festival is Saturday

with the big parade of flower floats accompanied by dancers, musicians ect …

It will leave at 8am from the Nawarat Bridge (well, in fact, because of its length,

it starts from the railway station but dancers and musicians often only start their performance when arriving at the bridge).

On Nawarat bridge, tribunes will be installed but I do not necessarily advise you to take place there 

since as for me iti is better to move with the parade to really enjoy it …

The parade then will go in Thapae Road to the Thapae Gate before finishing its course near the Nong Buak Haad Park.
