Spring begins with a 1,000,000 blooms on Sentosa

Sentosa Flowers (圣淘沙春节花会) is in full bloom once again, as the award-winning springtime floral extravaganza returns for a fourth year. Enjoy the season at an 11-day festival starting 7 February.

The picture of spring is different everywhere - painted by a kaleidoscope of fresh blooms. Sentosa ’s Tales of Spring (春天的故事) tells the story of the season of abundance, as it is enjoyed around the world. Capture the beauty at many photography points throughout the 5-hectare stretch of floral delights. And for the first time ever, experience the festival under the night sky and the floral floats display (花车展). Approximately 350,000 guests are expected at the festival this year.

“Away from this festival, Sentosa is home to 300 species of flowers. Flowers bring with them a wonderful trail of insects and birds, and together, they form part of the intricate web of nature. Sentosa’s lush heritage is a precious asset we endeavour to preserve for our loved ones and their children. Each year, we look forward to seeing local families and our international guests come together, as they appreciate Sentosa Flowers.

The festival gives everyone the opportunity to enjoy spring in a fresh and fun way!” says Tan Kok Yeang, Director, Environmental Services, Sentosa Leisure Group.
