The award winning Festival of Flowers will celebrate its 31st year in downtown Mobile’s Cathedral Square by
proudly showcasing life-sized living sculptures created by regionally acclaimed florists, artists and garden
designers.
These artists will vie for bragging rights for the Festival of Flowers People’s Choice Award by highlighting the
theme “Make Your Mark.” Visitors can view the elaborate plant creations in Cathedral Square and cast their
vote via QR code or weblink. Donation required for entry.
Special events include a Saturday morning Exotic Car Show, Buds and Brews, and self-guided tours of area
gardens. On Sunday, visitors can bring a furry friend to enjoy the show during Welcome All Wags from 3-5 p.m.
Join us to give back to our healthcare community and celebrate those that have made their mark in Mobile.
Festival proceeds will be used to purchase advanced electrocardiogram (EKG) equipment for the USA Health
Providence Cardiac Care Unit.
Produced by the Providence Foundation, the 2024 Festival of Flowers will inspire and nurture the gardener in all
of us. Recognized in 2021 and 2023 as Alabama Magazine’s “Best of Bama Charity Event,” the Festival of
Flowers continues the tradition of delighting and educating visitors of all ages.
