If the winter chills are getting you down, remember that a brighter season is around the corner. With the spring comesFloriade, Canberra’s colourful annual festival – and it’s not just about flowers.
The Sydney activation of Floriade begins in August, but from Saturday September 13 – Sunday October 12 is when the nation’s capital transforms into a hub of arts and fine food. Each week of the festival is split into themed weeks, with food and wine the focus from Monday September 22 – Sunday September 28. That means cocktail and tapas-making classes, plus wine, beer and cider tasting, while the popular Floriade NightFest comprises lighting shows, entertainment and night markets from Wednesday September 24 – Sunday September 28.
Floriade blooms for the public in Canberra from Saturday September 13 to Sunday October 12.
