The origin of the Flower Festival dates back to 1954, when the Festa da Rosa (Rose Festival) was held at the Ateneu Comercial do Funchal. In this party flowers were exhibited and culminated with a prize for the best. The success achieved led this event to be repeated annually, under the name of Flower Festival. From 1979, the organization of this event became the responsibility of the Regional Directorate for Tourism.
