MOBILE, Ala. – The Festival of Flowers will celebrate its 31st year in downtown Mobile’s Cathedral Square by proudly showcasing life-sized living sculptures created by regionally acclaimed florists, artists and garden designers.

Visitors can enjoy special events throughout the weekend to feature musical performances by Brandon Green and Band, The Wrong Terns, Symone French, Grant Skinner, Ben Tuberville and Mobile’s Singing Children. Produced by the Providence Foundation, the 2024 Festival of Flowers will inspire and nurture the gardener in all of us while raising funds to purchase advanced medical equipment for USA Health Providence Hospital.
Artists will vie for bragging rights for the Festival of Flowers People’s Choice Award by highlighting the theme “Make Your Mark.” Let’s have fun, give back to our healthcare community, celebrate the Mobile area, and watch as our most creative show off their talents!
