GTA-<\/em><\/strong>The Grenada Tourism Authority (GTA) is pleased to announce that Grenada will host its first-ever national flower festival from 8\u201315 November 2026.<\/p>\n

The announcement was made today at a press conference held at The Tower Estate, marking a historic moment for the nation\u2019s floriculture, tourism, and creative sectors.<\/p>\n

The Grenada Flower Festival will celebrate the natural beauty, floral heritage, and the talent of growers, arrangers, designers, and horticultural communities across the tri-island state. The 8-day celebration will include village beautification projects, garden tours, floral installations, workshops, community competitions, and curated culinary and cultural experiences inspired by Grenada\u2019s botanical richness.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrenada is blessed with an extraordinary natural environment, lush mountains, fertile valleys, and gardens that overflow with life,\u201d said Randall Dolland, Chairman of the Grenada Tourism Authority. \u201cAs we continue to strengthen our destination offerings and expand our niche markets, the Grenada Flower Festival provides a new platform to showcase our islands in a fresh, meaningful, and sustainable way. From edible flowers in cuisine to the growing perfumery sector, from community gardens to sustainability practices, this festival will open new opportunities for culture, agriculture, tourism and enterprise.\u201d<\/p>\n

The announcement was also attended by members of Grenada\u2019s world-renowned Chelsea Flower Show delegation. Catherine John, long-standing member and current team lead of the Grenada Chelsea Exhibit, and the only person to have participated in all 18 of Grenada\u2019s Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) Gold Medal-winning exhibits, shared her excitement about the festival\u2019s potential.<\/p>\n

\u201cGrenada has always been admired internationally for its flowers, foliage, and creativity,\u201d John said. \u201cPeople at Chelsea always ask us: Where can we see these plants growing? Now we will finally be able to say: Come to Grenada.\u201d This festival is an opportunity to show the world the abundance we have here at home, to inspire the next generation, and to celebrate our growers who create beauty every day.\u201d<\/p>\n

The GTA also highlighted the importance of early engagement with growers, communities, and tourism partners, noting that planting for 2026 begins now. The festival will be planned and executed in partnership with floriculture groups, creative industries, the Grenada Hotel and Tourism Association, the ministries of Tourism and Agriculture and community associations across the country.<\/p>\n

More details about the festival, including branding, programme, competitions, tours, and participation guidelines, will be announced in early 2026.<\/p>\n
