As we get ready to say farewell to Floriade and its beautiful blooms for another year, if you haven’t had your yearly visit or first-time experience, maybe these last-minute events and activities will give you the push you need.
Dogs’ Day Out
An annual highlight of the Floriade program, Dogs’ Day Out invites pups and their owners to explore the festival and frolic amongst the flowers.
