Since 1922, the Coronado Flower Show has invited neighbors and flower fans to gather “beneath the tent” to celebrate beauty, community, and heritage. Now in its 104th year, the festival takes place April 18-19; this year’s theme is “Welcome to the Jungle.” Organized by the Coronado Floral Association (CFA), the two-day festival is the largest tented flower show in the U.S. and Coronado’s longest running tradition. This year, the Association invites every visitor, exhibitor, volunteer, and gardener to wander into a wild and lush world where together the delicate and the bold, the native and the exotic, the sculptural and the wild promise: • Immersive installations, inspired by the forest canopy, understory, and hidden glades. • Botanical theatrics, featuring dramatic textures, tropical foliage, layered compositions, and surprise vignettes. • A lush visitor journey with meandering pathways, intimate hideaways, and moments of discovery. • Creative expression across horticulture and design, from floral arrangements to structural natural wonders. The main event is divided into five divisions: Horticulture, Design, Special Exhibits, Youth and Botanical Arts. Located at Spreckels Park, this two-day event includes landscape displays, a variety of floral competitions, educational lectures and demonstrations, live bandstand entertainment, food, a beer & wine garden with locally crafted beers, and shopping. The annual Coronado Flower Show is organized in partnership with the City of Coronado. Over 250 CFA volunteers work to make the flower show weekend a success.
