Flower Festival

DSC_0373

Each year in February, our city holds a flower festival to showcase all the varieties of flowers that can be found in our country.  There are so many beautiful, unique flowers here.  The festival usually lasts three days.  There are several parades with floats made completely of flowers, beauty contest, outdoor flower market, food market, and party on the city moat (a real castle moat).  It is a fun time to get out and enjoy the culture.
