West Side Flower Fest—WSFF, organized by the City Hall of Sector 6—will undoubtedly become the point of attraction in Bucharest between May 30 and June 1 and one of the events to attend that weekend. There will be giant arrangements, theme and sensory gardens, concerts, shows for the little ones, and workshops, and visitors can admire the dress made of 1,000 recyclable roses.
Drumul Taberei Park turns into a fairytale garden. For three days, we will delight our eyes and soul with beauty: flowers of all kinds, in all shapes and colours, impressive arrangements, and fun and quality leisure time spent together in the community.
West Side Flower Fest 2025: Literature
What could the Garden of Heaven look like? It would probably be full of gorgeous flowers of all colours in the most amazing arrangements. It would smell fresh and natural, and all the people would be happy there. This is exactly what Drumul Taberei Park will look like from May 30 to June 1. The West Side Flower Fest, now in its third edition, is taking place.
This year’s theme is Literature. Six universities in the country will set up 12 literary gardens inspired by well-known books. The public will admire them and vote for their favourites; the most beautiful ones will be awarded.
20 themed gardens, some floating
The organisers will set up three other gardens. ADPDU Sector 6 will have a sensory garden for people with disabilities, DGASPC Sector 6 is recreating the garden from Jack and the Beanstalk, and Monica Răduță, a renowned plastic artist and set designer, will set up the „secret garden” from the book of the same name.
The giant floral installations in the park will also be taken from stories, more precisely, from The Legends of Olympus, The Little Prince, The Divine Comedy, The Chronicles of Narnia, etc. Tens of thousands of petunias will decorate the bridge over the lake, the house at the entrance to the park will also be full of flowers, arches, gates, characters, 5-meter-high metal installations in the form of trees, and a labyrinth will also be arranged from flowers and plants.
The main attractions of the West Side Flower Fest
15 theme gardens. Drumul Taberei Park will be transformed into a fairy tale land. 15 theme gardens will be set up, of which 12, created by students and professors from specialised universities, will enter the competition.
Free workshops for thousands of children. For three days, children of all ages can participate in gardening, painting, fan making, braided bracelets or flower paintings, recycling, robotics and Lego workshops, chemistry workshops, and arithmetic workshops. On the grass, there will also be an area dedicated to babies and preschoolers, with sensory workshops.
Good food and flowers to take home. 123 merchants, the most so far, have been selected to participate in this year’s festival. 91 are with flowers and decorations, and 32 with culinary delights. They will be positioned on Drumul Taberei Boulevard, between Str. Brașov and Poiana Muntelui, an area closed to cars and open to pedestrians.
Concerts and shows. Because the festival coincides with Children’s Day, the organisers have prepared, throughout the three days, a lot of surprises for the little ones, but not only: puppet theatre, circus performances, interactive concerts, costume presentations, makeup and hairstyles, dance demonstrations. Alina Sorescu, Andreea Bălan, Romanița, ventriloquist Ana Maria Mărgean and children’s choirs will take to the stage at the amphitheater. On the boulevard, there will be recitals and a flashmob of seniors from Sector 6.
