Flower festival, Flower Girl, Funchal, May 2006

Start ¦ Prev ¦ Main ¦ Next ¦ End

The Flower Festival procession usually conveys a number of floats with flower girls through the crowded streets of Funchal. The bands that accompany the floats add to the spectacle and the confusion of colour and noise creates a carnival atmosphere. As the festival is held after Easter each year, the weather is almost guaranteed to be sunny and dry making it an event not to be missed by the tourist.
