The Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden, named by Architectural Digest as one of the “15 Breathtaking Botanical Gardens to Visit This Season,” will present Dallas Blooms, the largest floral festival in the Southwest, from February 24 to April 8. This year’s theme is “A World of Flowers”. The festival will feature an explosion of color from more than 500,000 spring-blooming blossoms, thousands of azaleas and hundreds of Japanese cherry trees.
A World of Flowers
As Dallas is one of the leading cities in the nation with many cultural communities, the Dallas Arboretum is pleased to showcase a different region of the world during the festival.
At the International Crossroads Village, a festive central location within the garden, visitors can view a large world map created from flowers. Each week focuses on a different region such as France, the Mediterranean, Europe, Asia and the Americas, so the food, entertainment and cultural offerings will vary throughout Dallas Blooms.
On Fridays, there is an International Market featuring unique goods as well as cultural activities. Each weekend will have an International Festival showcasing that week’s highlighted country through music, dance, cultural activities and vendors.
