Rhododendron Festival
Every spring, wild rhododendrons bloom in the hills and fields of Florence. These white-pink flowers signal the end of winter and the imminent arrival of our glorious summers. On the third week of May we celebrate the blooming rhododendrons. Join in and watch the parades and enjoy the carnival. You’ll also find live music, and a classic car show, shine and cruises.
