Grenada will welcome visitors to its first Flower and Garden Festival from 8 to 15 November 2026. The new national event will bring together flowers, gardens, food, wellness, culture and nature across the Spice Island. It will give travellers a fresh reason to visit Grenada beyond its beaches, waterfalls and famous spices. The festival will invite people to see the island through colour, scent, local stories and green landscapes.

A New Festival for Grenada

The Grenada Flower and Garden Festival will run for eight days. It is hosted by the Grenada Tourism Authority. Local growers, designers, communities and businesses will take part. The event will celebrate Grenada’s rich plant life and the people who care for it.
This festival is not only about looking at flowers. It will connect gardens with food, traditional healing, local drinks, wellness and island culture. Visitors will travel through tropical gardens, estates, rainforest spaces and cultural locations. This makes the event feel like a journey through Grenada itself.
Grenada is already known as the Spice Island. Nutmeg, cinnamon, cocoa and many tropical plants grow across its green hills. The new festival will now show another side of the country. It will place flowers, garden design and nature at the heart of the visitor experience.

Opening Day Brings Families Into the Rainforest

The festival will open on Sunday, 8 November, with an Opening and Family Day at Myristic Mountain. The event will run from 10am to 6pm. Visitors can expect a day that mixes wellness, nature, music and family activities in a lush rainforest setting.
This opening day matters because it sets the mood for the week. Grenada wants visitors to enjoy nature in a gentle and joyful way. Families can take part, while garden lovers can begin their festival visit surrounded by tropical plants and forest scenery.
Myristic Mountain will offer a strong first look at what makes Grenada special. The island has steep hills, deep green valleys, waterfalls and dramatic coastlines. The festival will use these natural settings instead of placing every activity inside one exhibition hall.

Garden Tours Reveal Grenada’s Hidden Green World

The programme will continue on Monday, 9 November, with several garden-based experiences. One route, Gardens and Scents, will visit the Botanical Gardens, Tower Estate, Gemrose Garden and T’s Eco Garden. It will introduce visitors to colourful blooms, orchids, tropical trees, historic plants and other island species.
Another experience, called Sip and Stir, will link gardens with Grenada’s food and drink culture. The route includes Andy’s, Kalipso, Nick’s Barrel, Tower Estate and Pandy Beach House. It will allow visitors to taste local creations while learning how the island’s plants, spices and flavours shape daily life.
Smithy’s Garden will also host a Garden Tour and Tea Tasting on 9 November. Visitors will walk through orchids, fruit trees, foliage and flowering plants. The experience will then move into a tea tasting session. This is a simple but meaningful way to show how gardens can support food, relaxation and local traditions.
The organisers should clarify a few time details before the festival begins. Some tour times on the official programme appear to show PM labels even though the activities clearly fit daytime schedules. Visitors should confirm all starting times before booking drivers, taxis or restaurant tables.

Views Waterfalls and Gardens Add Adventure

On Tuesday, 10 November, the Gardens, Views and Water tour will take visitors to Fort Frederick, Smithy’s Garden, Palm Tree Gardens and Annandale Waterfall. This route will blend gardens with history, mountain views and one of Grenada’s best-known natural attractions.
Fort Frederick overlooks St George’s and gives visitors a broad view of the coastline. Annandale Waterfall adds the sound and movement of rushing water. The garden stops will offer a calmer contrast. Together, the route shows why Grenada can attract travellers who want more than a beach holiday.
Visitors should wear comfortable shoes with a good grip. November can bring rain to Grenada. Garden paths and waterfall areas may become wet or slippery. A light rain jacket, sun cream, insect repellent and a refillable water bottle will help travellers enjoy the day.

Flower Show and Marketplace Take Centre Stage

The festival’s biggest attraction will be the three-day Flower Show and Marketplace from 13 to 15 November. It will take place at the Grenada Trade Centre. The event will feature floral displays, local artisans, workshops, panels, awards and market-style experiences.
This part of the festival could become the main meeting place for visitors, gardeners, growers and local makers. Travellers will have a chance to see Grenadian creativity in one place. They may also discover handmade products, garden items, local food and gifts linked to the island’s culture.
The Flower Show and Marketplace gives Grenada a strong new tourism product. It can attract garden lovers, photographers, families, food travellers and people who enjoy slow travel. It also creates space for local businesses and communities to share their skills with visitors.

A Better Way to Plan the Festival Trip

Travellers should arrive in Grenada by Saturday, 7 November, if possible. This gives them time to settle in before the opening day. Staying until Monday, 16 November, will also help visitors enjoy the final weekend without rushing to the airport.
Grand Anse, Lance aux Epines and True Blue offer useful places to stay. These areas sit close to Maurice Bishop International Airport, St George’s, dining spots and many south-west services. However, festival venues will spread across the island. Visitors should arrange transport early, especially for tours in rural areas.
The Grenada Flower and Garden Festival offers something new for Caribbean travel in 2026. It will show that Grenada’s beauty does not only live on its beaches. It also grows in its gardens, rainforests, estates, spices, flowers and warm local communities.
