This spring, there will be a beautiful flower festival close to Toronto where you may get lost in a floral world. You can take advantage of the limitless natural beauty and sweet-smelling gardens at the Oshawa Peony Festival, which is returning for another year.
On June 10 and 11, 2023, the event will be held in the Oshawa Valley Botanical Gardens. It has been around for 19 years and offers a ton of things to do.
A flower exhibition, opening ceremonies, competitions, and more will be held. The market and artisan vendor area offer shopping opportunities, and Food Truck Alley offers dining options.
Free activities are available for kids, and live music is available while you stroll through the grounds.
You may spend the day getting lost in the festival’s more than 300 different species of peonies, which come in a rainbow of colors.
The event has reportedly been recognized as one of the top 100 events in Ontario for ten years running by Events & Events Ontario, according to the website. Parking is available nearby on the streets, and admission is free.
The Sakura Festival will be held in Burlington on May 13 if you’re seeking another flower festival to attend this spring. There will be “an afternoon of Japanese music, dance, and martial arts demonstrations” in addition to a lot of pink flowers.
Alternatively, you could go to Warkworth’s Lilac Festival. You can get lost in a sea of purple and enjoy a lovely trail lined with fragrant lilacs during the event.
