Maó + Flors Festival 2013
This weekend (Friday 17 to Sunday 19 May) sees Mahón burst into bloom as the town celebrates its sixth flower festival, Maó + Flors, when buildings and shop fronts are transformed with fantastic floral displays, music fills the streets, bakeries sell cakes decorated with flowers and all sorts of other fun activities take place. And this year promises to be no exception with live music performances, the Maó Giants, a dog show, painting and photography exhibitions, children’s entertainment and readings of well-known stories and legends for everyone to enjoy. Fingers crossed that the sun comes out and the rain stays away..!
Over the past few weeks, florists and garden centres all around the island have been preparing wonderful floral arrangements to decorate the squares and public buildings, each having been allocated their own particular area. Children in the local schools have also been making murals and montages to decorate the streets.
