The large market exhibition of gardening and green design at Lido degli Estensi
When the avenues of Lido degli Estensi fill with colors, scents, and rare plants, it means that the summer season on the coast of Comacchio, in the province of Ferrara, has officially begun. Un Mare in Fiore is the large market exhibition dedicated to gardening, outdoor design, and sustainable living that every year, between late May and early June, enlivens the heart of this renowned seaside resort in Emilia-Romagna.
The route winds along the Carducci and delle Querce avenues, two pedestrian thoroughfares that for the occasion transform into a widespread garden. Here you will find nursery gardeners and floriculturists from all over Italy with flowers, rare plants, furniture, and equipment for the garden, as well as advice and ideas for green enthusiasts. Along the way, you will encounter spectacular floral arrangements, demonstration gardens, and green design installations, designed to inspire those who dream of a flowery balcony or a domestic green corner.
Alongside the plants, the event also provides space for creative crafts, typical local products, and a food & drink area where you can stop for a bite to eat between stalls. It is an event designed for the whole family: walking among the stands is free, and the atmosphere is that of relaxed and festive early sunny days on the Adriatic.
Un Mare in Fiore is not just a green fair. Throughout the two weekends, there are musical events and entertainment moments for adults and children: evening concerts, DJ sets, puppet shows for the little ones, performances, and free workshops. In recent years, the Infiorata (flower carpet) has also been added to the event, a large artistic composition made with flower petals, destined to become one of the symbols of the festival.
Organized by the association "Noi che ci crediamo Ancora", the event is now a classic of Comacchio's spring and attracts thousands of visitors each year. Among the exhibitors, the Sauro Fioravanti Award is presented, an award dedicated to the best display for the quality of plants and the care of the exhibition. Un Mare in Fiore is the perfect opportunity to combine a day at the beach with a walk among flowers and plants, while discovering the charm of the Lidi di Comacchio and the Po Delta area.
The 18th edition of Un Mare in Fiore took place at Lido degli Estensi (Comacchio, Ferrara) on the weekends of May 23-24 and May 30-31, continuing on June 1 and 2, 2026, with evening previews on Fridays May 22 and 29 starting from 6:00 PM.
The edition recorded a record debut, with thousands of visitors already in the first weekend. Among the exhibitors, the Sauro Fioravanti Award was presented for the best display. Among the most appreciated novelties was the Infiorata on June 1st, destined to become one of the symbols of the event.
