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 Bucharest 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 has water as its artistic theme
The West Side Flower Fest has become a reference event in District 6. Last year, in the first edition, there were more than 13 theme gardens, 50 exhibitors, concerts, performances and 100,000 visitors in three days. This year’s edition will be much more spectacular. There will be 20 themed gardens and twice as many traders/exhibitors.
Its theme is water. Specifically, „innovations in landscaping to use water wisely.” Thus, the themed gardens in Drumul Taberei Park will demonstrate how water can be used sustainably in urban public spaces. The conference, organized at the theatre in the park and attended by landscapers, university professors, and architects, will have water management as its subject.
20 themed gardens, some floating
The theme gardens are among the event’s main attractions as last year. This year’s edition will have 20 different, unique, original, and some floating on the lake. They are arranged by 18 are designed by teams of students from Landscape Studies from six universities across the country: Timișoara, Cluj-Napoca, Iași, Bucharest, Târgu Mureș. The latter will enter the competition, and two of the most beautiful, voted by the public, will be awarded.
