Flower Festival

The Flower Festival in Chiang Mai is an annual event held in February during the first weekend of the month. The city is all dressed up in vibrant colours of electric orange, various shades of pink, purple and even white. Bougainvillea, petunias, and other flowers in profusion seem to have given Chiang Mai its flowery name, ‘Rose of the North'. The three day long flower festival attracts a lot of visitors. The cool and clear evenings in the pleasant ambience of the flower festival ensure that all hotels and flights are booked well in advance.
