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.
