Considering the Floriade is being held once every ten years, now is your chance to organize your next event in this unique setting. Each year the Floriade has a different theme. This year the theme is ‘Be part of the theater in nature, get closer to the quality of life’. Combine your meeting or congress with a visit to the park and the cultural events that will take place daily.
The history of the Floriade goes back 52 years. The coming edition will be the sixth one. Previous editions were held in 1960 in Rotterdam, in 1972 and 1982 in Amsterdam, in 1992 in Zoetermeer and in 2002 in Haarlemmermeer. After ten years this spectacular theatre of nature will be held in a stunning park in Venlo.
