The annual Rose and Spring Festival, organized by the Cantonment Board Peshawar, made a vibrant return this year, filling the city with dazzling colors, enchanting fragrances, and bursts of artistic expression. Inaugurated on Monday, April 14th, by the Corps Commander, the festival transformed Peshawar—famously known as the City of Roses—into a spectacular celebration of spring.
At the heart of the event was the breathtaking Flower Exhibition, a dazzling display of floral arrangements that captivated visitors. From cascading waterfalls of orchids to elegant bouquets of roses and gladioli, each display was a testament to creativity and craftsmanship. The intricate patterns, harmonious color palettes, and sweet fragrances created a sensory wonderland, leaving visitors in awe.
The festival also featured a wide range of food stalls, offering visitors a chance to enjoy traditional delicacies and cultural flavors. Adding to the charm was a prize distribution ceremony that honored excellence in various competitions.
Students from the Umeed Foundation, including Cantt Public Girls High School, added a lively cultural touch through colorful tableaux and performances, capturing the essence of spring and the spirit of celebration.
Engaging the community further, the festival hosted a Cut Flowers Competition and a Painting Competition for students and teachers, themed around the beauty of nature. These contests provided a platform to showcase artistic talent and encourage creative expression. Winners were awarded cash prizes, boosting excitement and participation.
The event drew large crowds and offered families a golden opportunity to enjoy nature, connect with community traditions, and make lasting memories. The festivities will continue for five more days, inviting the public to revel in the blossoming beauty of spring.
