The origins of Temps de Flors
The festival originated in the 1950s when a group of gardeners and nature lovers decided to organize a floral exhibition to celebrate the arrival of spring. What started as a modest local initiative soon became a deeply ingrained tradition in the heart of the city.
Initially, the festival involved decorating public spaces with flowers and plants. However, over the years, it gained popularity and attracted more participants and visitors. The creativity and ingenuity of Girona’s residents were unleashed, and they began to decorate not just streets and plazas but also private courtyards, balconies, and the facades of historic buildings.
Over the decades, “Girona, Temps de Flors” has become an iconic event for the city, recognized both nationally and internationally.
The festival’s humble beginnings contrast with its current grandeur, but the essence of the event remains the same: celebrating the beauty of nature and fostering a sense of community among Girona’s residents and visitors.
