Season
12 Sep – 11 Oct 2026
The 2026 Festival
A Million Blooms, Beautifully Timed
Every spring, Commonwealth Park turns 4.2 hectares of lakeside lawn into a living canvas of tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and pansies — laid out in large-scale designs you really only appreciate on foot, with someone who knows where to stand. Floriade 2026 runs from Saturday 12 September to Sunday 11 October under the theme Feast of Flowers, with garden beds drawing their colour from seasonal produce.
Our guided day is built to skip the logistics and keep the good bits: a morning walk through the beds before the crowds build, Stage 88 performances, the market stalls (Canberra District wine among them), and a lakeside lunch. Daytime festival entry is free — you're paying us for the transfer, the guide, the timing and the trimmings, not the gate.
