Noida, February 19, 2026: The 38th Annual Noida Flower Show 2026 was inaugurated on Thursday at Sector-33A near Shilp Haat, Shivalik Park, in the presence of distinguished guests and a large gathering of visitors. The four-day floral exhibition, organized by the Noida Authority, opened with a ceremonial lamp lighting accompanied by a presentation from the 39th Battalion ITBP Band team.
The inaugural ceremony was attended by Member of Parliament Dr. Mahesh Sharma, along with senior officials of the Noida Authority, including Additional Chief Executive Officer Vandana Tripathi, senior administrative officers, and representatives from various institutions.

This year’s exhibition features large-scale floral murals and sculptures crafted from diverse flower species, forming the central attractions of the event.
Among the key highlights is a 30 to 40-foot floral model of the world-famous Kedarnath Temple of Uttarakhand. The grand installation, prepared entirely from flowers, has become the focal point for visitors and photography enthusiasts. Complementing the theme, a 22-foot-long and 25-foot-high entrance arch inspired by Kedarnath has been erected at the main gate.
Additional themed installations include replicas of a trident, damru, and Nandi placed in front of the temple model. Decorative floral structures such as a six-foot elephant, pathway baskets, pot-flower baskets, and cone-shaped basket towers have been meticulously designed to enhance the aesthetic appeal of the venue. Floral replicas of artistic objects including a matka flow, Buddha lotus, piano setup, hen and rooster, watering can, and other creative installations further enrich the exhibition landscape.
On the first day alone, nearly one lakh visitors thronged the venue to witness 29 varieties of flower species and the intricately designed floral murals. The overwhelming public response indicates the popularity of the flower show, which residents eagerly anticipate every year.
