Spring has sprung with Floriade in full bloom from 13 September to 12 October 2025.
Over one million blooms will transform Commonwealth Park into a dazzling celebration of colour and curiosity as Australia’s Biggest Celebration of Spring embraces this year’s theme Science and Nature. Garden bed designs and events will draw inspiration from physics, chemistry, astronomy, biology, botany and more.
Visitors can enjoy hands-on workshops, fascinating talks, and interactive displays—plus a special appearance by renowned Aussie scientist Dr Karl Kruszelnicki on Saturday 4 October.
The Kazador Tent brings extra sparkle to the program, hosting children’s shows during the school holidays with Children are Stinky, a thrilling circus performance. Families can also head to Floriade Sprouts for fun craft and science activities, while foodies can browse markets, meet local producers and sample delicious treats.
The program also includes the Windows to the World Showcase on Saturday 11 October (ahead of the main event on 18/19 October), Dogs’ Day Out on Sunday 12 October, and the much-loved Great Big Bulb Dig on Monday 13 October—supporting YWCA Canberra with thanks to presenting partner Allhomes.
NightFest returns from 2 to 5 October, with illuminated blooms, installations, food, drink and live music every night, including headliners Josh Pyke (4 October) and Ella Hooper (5 October). The Kazador Tent transforms for Kiss Tease Cabaret – a dazzling 18+ experience filled with music, burlesque, and high-energy variety acts. NightFest tickets are on sale now.
