About Un Mare in Fiore

Every spring, the Carducci and delle Querce avenues of Lido degli Estensi, in Comacchio, transform into an immense open-air garden. Un Mare in Fiore is the market exhibition dedicated to gardening, outdoor design, and sustainable living that officially inaugurates the summer season on the Comacchio coast. Featuring nursery gardeners and floriculturists from all over Italy, spectacular floral arrangements, demonstration gardens, creative crafts, live music, and many activities for adults and children, it is one of the most beloved events on the Ferrara coast, with free admission.

Un Mare in Fiore, the spring that blooms 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.

A walk among flowers, plants, and creativity

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.

Music, shows, and entertainment

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.

An event rooted in the territory

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.
