Sonal Chikara

Noida Flower Show 2026, the 38th Vasant Utsav, is all set to mesmerise visitors with a grand floral replica of Kedarnath and nearly 120 varieties of flowers, plants and shrubs. The theme of this year’s event is inspired by the sacred Kedarnath Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva in Uttarakhand.

This four-day festival being organised from February19-22 at Shivalik Park, Noida, is one of the largest flower festivals in North India, showcasing vibrant floral displays, themed gardens, workshops, and eco-friendly activities.

The event is being organised by the Noida Authority in association with Noida’s Floriculture Society. Dr Mahesh Sharma, Member of Parliament from the Gautam Buddha Nagar Lok Sabha constituency, inaugurated the show today.

“Being a nature lover, I truly enjoy being here, surrounded by flowers and greenery. This flower show stands out for its scale and creativity. It’s wonderful to see such vibrant community participation,” says Pushpa Hastir, a volunteer and resident of Sector 34, Noida. The show features a wide range of flowers, including alyssum, aster, brachycome, calendula, dianthus, gazania, marigold, nasturtium, nemesia, California poppy, salvia, stock, and viola.

There is also an herbal and medicinal plant section featuring Ayurvedic herbs and wellness plants, with information on their uses and how to grow them at home. “This flower show also hosts around 80 stalls, with nurseries and businesses offering gardening tools, pottery and other horticulture-related products,” says Hastir.

The moment you enter the Vasant Utsav, you are welcomed by a beautiful and thoughtfully arranged display of flowers. The floral tunnel walk is a signature attraction and is expected to be one of the most photographed spots at the festival. “The flower show is absolutely breathtaking. Every installation feels unique and imaginative. We're speechless after watching so many different varieties of flowers. It is very creative,” says Taien Aier, a resident of Safdarjung Enclave in Delhi.

Another visitor Aphre SS from Kalkaji, Delhi, says, “It feels like stepping into a world painted with colours. Every corner has a new variety of flowers--dahlias, roses, tulips and more. It’s refreshing, beautifully organised, and perfect for families to spend quality time together.”

There is plenty to explore for both kids and adults at the festival. The DIY Gardening Zone offers a hands-on experience where visitors can try creating their own mini gardens. Students from various schools, along with their teachers, were also present at the festival.
