The unique Festival of Flowers is held in Colombia annually for the last 54 years. The event is hosted by the notorious city of Medellin. For the Flower Festival in Medellin are flocking about 400,000 visitors from all over the world. Medellin is a city of unique natural beauty and many attractions. The main factor for this is the mild climate - there is only one season - eternal spring. Flowers there bloom year round and therefore, local producers can boast unique and colourful plants. The main part of the festival is the so-called parade of wreaths where talented florists represent their flower masterpieces. This place is full of flowers, sunshine, smiles and colours. The main idea of the flower parade is to represent the end of slavery when instead of flowers slaves carried people on their backs. The festival is one of the most popular and important social events.
