A blooming event in the middle of Odense

Every August, the streets of Odense transform into a breathtaking floral paradise during the Odense Flower Festival. This free event showcases a wealth of creative floral and plant arrangements that adorn the city centre. The festival’s theme often draws inspiration from Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy-tale universe, adding an extra layer of culture and history to the experience.

Floral displays and activities

During the festival, you can explore impressive floral installations designed in collaboration with local gardeners, artists, and educational institutions. These botanical artworks beautifully frame the city’s squares and parks.

In addition to the visual experiences, the festival offers a wide range of activities for both children and adults. You can take part in workshops, join guided tours, and learn more about floral art and gardening. There are also market stalls selling flowers, plants, and related goods to take home.

Connection to Hans Christian Andersen Festivals

The Odense Flower Festival is part of the Hans Christian Andersen Festivals, meaning it overlaps with a week full of cultural events inspired by the famous author’s works. This collaboration creates a unique atmosphere in the city, where floral art and literature go hand in hand.
