Floriade Expo 2022 Will Continue



We are pleased to confirm that Floriade Expo 2022 will continue. The city council of Almere, Holland  reconfirmed to continue organising Floriade. The International Horticultural Expo will take place from 14 April to 9 October 2022.

Amidst the outbreak of the coronavirus and the potential effects this may have on the Expo, the city council had appointed an external consultant to develop a number of scenarios for the A1 International Horticultural Exhibition, and answer whether the pandemic necessitated a reconsideration of Floriade.

We are pleased with the outcome of the vote of the city council arriving at a 2/3 majority. Together with the municipality of Almere, the province of Flevoland, the Dutch National Government, the Dutch Horticultural sector and all our international partners, we will be able to achieve the desired Floriade programming, for a successful Expo in 2022.

In 2022, Almere will be the stage for the International Horticultural Expo, ‘Floriade Expo 2022’, for six months. The theme of Floriade Expo 2022, ‘Growing Green Cities’ focusing on healthy food and the liveability of cities in the future, has become more urgent and relevant than ever. Some two million guests from abroad and the home markets are expected to visit Floriade.

Together with international participants and national organisations, the Dutch horticultural sector will present innovations and solutions for sustainable and liveable cities. We invite countries to present their best practices for the horticultural sector, cities and consumers.

We continued the preparatory work over the last few months to be able to welcome the (newly) confirmed participants at the Expo site. Currently 210 national companies have committed to Floriade and 33 countries have announced their participation.

Together with all our participants and partners Floriade Expo 2022 is on its way to a successful Expo.
