Medellin Flower Festival – Feria de las Flores
Medellin’s flower festival is upon us. I have been in Medellin for five Flower Festivals now, and have had a blast at each one. The Medellin Flower Festival has been going on for 58 years now. It is very rich in history and people from all over the world come to see, namely, the “silletero” parade.
What is the Medellin Flower Festival
The Medellin Flower Festival is a celebration of many things, the flowers grown in the region, Virgin Mary Day, and the end of slavery. The Flower Festival started on May 1st, 1957. It was organized by member of the Board of the Office of Development and Tourism, Arturo Uribe.
This first flower festival lasted five days with an exposition of flowers displayed in the Metropolitan Cathedral, which was organized by the Gardening Club of Medellín and monsignor Tulio Botero to celebrate Virgin Mary day. The flower parade also celebrates the abolition of slavery. Slaves used to have to carry people on their backs on a contraption called a silleta up steep hills. In the main attraction of the parade, flower farmers called silleteros, carry ornate flower arrangements on their backs instead of people.
Despite walking many kilometers this Silletero smiles as he greets the crowd.
What does Feria de Las Flores mean to me?
For me this the flower festival is a time to spend with friends: dancing, drinking, barbecuing, and experiencing Medellin’s culture.
I lived in the United States for 28 years. The U.S. is very big on parades, and living near Los Angeles I am no stranger to them.
Next to el Carnaval de Barranquilla, Feria de las Flores is my favorite festival in Colombia. Paisas truly know how to party. Food, drinks, music, and dancing till dawn, I should have been born a Paisa!
This year I’m looking forward to some of the free and paid concerts, there will be a lot of them. I am also looking forward to the Classic Car Parade. This year my friends and I rented a finca in Santa Elena for the weekend before
the Silletero Parade we will be partying at the houses where the silletas are made. I can’t wait!

About the writer – Andrew Macia
Hello, my name is Andrew Macia and I am the founder of the Medellin Buzz. I am an advanced level English teacher, and I also run a digital marketing company here in Medellin.
I love Colombian, and Medellin has been my home since 2010. I like to write and I want to give back to the community. This is the best way I know how. I hope you enjoy my blog!
About the Medellin Buzz
I started the Medellin Buzz as a resource for my English as a foreign language students. A site where they could read about their city in English, that wasn’t boring. It slowly turned into a personal blog and hub for information for people discovering Medellin. I check comments frequently, so feel free to leave your comment and/or questions below.
I am a member of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses and have an interest in establishing contact with the organization in charge of your Feria De Las Flores. I have discussed this interest with a member of our executive committee who will be President of the Tournament in a few years. She is of Latin descent and would also like to develop a relationship with your parade organization. I was born in Colombia and, thus, my personal interest in promoting an association between the two organizations. I have searched the web for contact information about your parade organization and have not found it. Perhaps you can help me by directing me to the persons with whom I can communicate my interest. Thank you for your consideration and assistance. Camilo Becerra – camilob07@gmail.com
What is the dates for the Santa Elena flower festival 2017? they say it is in august?
Yes, it’s the first week of August.
Hi, please do you know some schedule of the festival? Is there something happening on the weekend 28-30.7.? Thanks a lot!
Hi Katerina, yes the Flower Festival this year starts on July 28th and it finishes on August 6. There are events every day. Here’s the program: http://www.viajesdepuebloenpueblo.com/pueblo/vp5600/sp/programacion-feria-de-las-flores-medellin-2017
Sad news, but I think there is no more Desfile De Los Carros Antiguos starting this year. The cars will only be on display at two areas. Might want to double check on that but I did not see it in La Programacion.
