Estrosa Floral Show

Estrosa Floral Show, Aprilia in bloom

Estrosa Floral Show is the summer event that blends floral art, fashion, and entertainment in the center of Aprilia, in the province of Latina, Lazio. Born from an idea by floral designer Savina Tatti, president of the Serendipity floral training school, the event has grown with each edition to become one of the most original and anticipated highlights of the Aprilia calendar, transforming shop windows, squares, and streets into a creative open-air path.

A competition that unites flowers and fashion

The heart of Estrosa is a true floral art competition: teams of two florists each face various challenges set up in the windows of local shops. Contestants create hand-tied bouquets of natural flowers, design window displays, and bring to life the famous vegetable dresses—garments crafted entirely from flowers and plant materials. Each challenge awards a prize, and a panel of experts determines the overall winners.

The grand evening fashion show

The most evocative moment is the gala evening in Piazza Roma, when the floral dresses come to life as models walk the runway. Music, dance, acting, and body art accompany a catwalk that changes its theme every year, surprising the audience. The event is built around a different central theme for each edition, inspiring the contestants' creations and the city's overall scenery.

More than just a competition: the city comes alive

• Workshops and stands dedicated to various arts;
• Themed characters who bring the historic center to life and engage visitors;
• Moments of live music and DJ sets, performances, and choreography;
• Intergenerational opportunities, designed to bring grandparents and grandchildren together through the beauty of flowers.

A signature event for Aprilia

Estrosa is now an integral part of the summer in the Municipality of Aprilia and enhances the local commercial fabric through collaboration between florists, local businesses, and cultural entities. For this Pontine city, it is a festive occasion and a promotional tool, where floral art becomes a shared language and a means of community building. Those visiting Lazio in summer will find an unusual and photogenic event here, where the talent of master florists intertwines with fashion and live performance.
