Hiroshima Flower Festival

Free

Don’t let the name fool you, the Hiroshima Flower Festival is a lot more than a simple flower show.

What happens?

Across multiple venues through the city, there will be stage performances, a yosakoi dance festival with around 5,000 people participating, a parade with flower floats, night time light ups at the Peace Park, and (of course) a ‘flower queen’ contest.

Schedule 2025

On May 3, 100 participating groups and over 8,000 people will parade down the 1.2km long Peace Boulevard.

The yosakoi takes place along the same route on May 5.

Organizers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
