Medellín in Bloom: The Flower Festival 2025
Every August, Medellín bursts into color for the Feria de las Flores (Flower Festival)—Colombia’s most iconic cultural celebration. From August 1 to August 10, 2025, locals and visitors come together to honor tradition, art, and life itself with breathtaking parades, music, and flowers.
At TourPoint Medellín, we help you experience the festival like a true VIP: no stress, just unforgettable moments.

Why the Silleteros Parade Is a Must-See
The heart of the festival beats at the Silleteros Parade, a breathtaking procession where flower farmers (silleteros) from Santa Elena showcase intricate, handmade floral arrangements on their backs. For 2025, the parade will feature inclusive representation, with children and participants with neurodiversity proudly joining the tradition.
Watching from official grandstands ensures the best view—and with our help, you can reserve your seats in advance.
VIP Tips for a Smooth and Safe Festival Experience
Book in advance: Graderías (grandstands) sell out fast. We can secure premium spots for your group.
Private transportation: Forget about parking and traffic. Our professional drivers and luxury vehicles keep you on schedule and comfortable.
Stay hydrated & comfortable: Medellín’s warm afternoons require sun protection, water, and good walking shoes.
Travel in groups: Especially during large concerts and parades, it’s safer and more enjoyable to stick together.
Visit Santa Elena responsibly: We can arrange private, authorized tours of flower farms without worrying about road closures or crowd control.
Getting Around Medellín During the Festival
The city implements special mobility plans during the festival: main roads close for parades, traffic intensifies, and public transportation extends hours. Locals rely heavily on the Metro and Metroplús buses. For visitors, hiring private, bilingual drivers through our service is the easiest and most comfortable way to navigate the city.
