If you’re anything like us here at BloomTV, you’ve been itching for a chance to jump back into life and spend time with people who share the same floral-passions and interests! For the past few years, the pandemic has made safely hosting and attending floral themed events extremely difficult- even impossible. If you’re ready to get involved again and attend some incredible events across the U.S, you’ve come to the right place! Here are three upcoming flower themed events to mark on your calendar. They’re each as unique and exciting as they are fun, so you won’t want to miss them!
Calflowers’ Fun N’ Sun
(August 29-31)
Fun N’ Sun is back once again for another amazing year! This weekend long event in sunny San Diego is the epitome of summer fun. California is famous for its breathtaking scenery and florals. Join Calflowers for a weekend admiring the stunning beaches and flowers of the sunshine state! Flower farm representatives and flower distributors will be showing off all the best blooms from the season, and leaders in various parts of the floral industry will be hosting panel discussions throughout the weekend. They’re sure to have invaluable advice that you won’t want to miss, plus opportunities to ask questions and make plenty of connections. For a bit of extra fun, the Fun N’ Sun convention will also have a golf tournament at the famous Cornado Golf Course- one of the top golfing destinations in the country.
