The Hiroshima Flower Festival has been held every year since 1977 during Golden Week, from 3 May to 5 May.
[citation needed] The festival includes multiple stages for entertainment, shops, a small zoo, and other amusement attractions along Peace Boulevard and in Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park.
Locals also participate in a parade, and Yosakoi dance on Peace Boulevard.
The origin of the festival is the Japanese professional baseball Central League Champion parade for the Hiroshima Toyo Carp team in 1975.
