The much-anticipated Ahmedabad International Flower Show 2025 was officially inaugurated today at the Sabarmati Riverfront by Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel. During the event, CM Patel also launched the Tree Census and unveiled the Mission Three Million Tree coffee table book. The Flower Show is set to run from January 3 to January 22, with the possibility of an extension based on public demand.

A Visual Extravaganza with Enhanced Features

Organized by the Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC), the Flower Show promises an enriched experience this year, featuring over 10 lakh flowers from more than 50 varieties and 30 stunning sculptures. The event has been divided into six themed zones, each offering a unique perspective on India’s growth, sustainability, and cultural heritage.

To enhance visitor engagement, the AMC has introduced a QR code-based audio guide. Visitors can scan the QR codes placed on flower sculptures to access detailed descriptions in English, Hindi, and Gujarati, providing insights into the flowers, their zones, and the sculptures’ significance.

Additionally, the show offers a souvenir shop, nursery stalls, and food stalls to add to the visitors’ overall experience.

Exclusive VIP Slots and Ticket Details

For the first time, VIP slots have been introduced, offering exclusive access at a fee of ₹500. These slots are available during early morning and late-night hours, from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM and 10:00 PM to 11:00 PM, respectively.

Regular tickets are priced at ₹70 on weekdays and ₹100 on weekends, with free entry for children under 12 years old. Tickets can be purchased both offline and online at riverfrontparktickets.com/fs to avoid queues.
