Swim into a sea of flowers with Camelie Locarno!
This year, Camelie Locarno will take place for the 24th time from 18 to 22 March 2026 at the Parco delle Camelie in Locarno. A scientific exhibition, with over 200 types of this flower, splendidly arranged by experienced gardeners in the private and public gardens of the Locarno region. Also open to visitors during the exhibition will be Parco delle Camelie, which became part of the “Gardens of Switzerland” circuit and bears the "Garden of excellence" label awarded by the International Camellia Society. The park is home to 1100 varieties of camellias over an area of 10,000 m2 on the shores of Lake Maggiore.
For Camelie Locarno, the park will also host floral installations, a café, and the traditional market dedicated to the sale of plants. As every year, there will be side events: the traditional concerti delle camelie.
