CalFlowers announces Fun 'N Sun for 85th anniversary

CalFlowers has announced details for its Fun 'N Sun 2026 Floral Convention, to be held August 5–8, 2026, at The Langham Huntington in Pasadena, California.

In celebration of CalFlowers' 85th anniversary, the event will feature the theme "A Legacy in Bloom – 85 Years of Floral Excellence," highlighting the history, creativity, and future of the floral industry.

In a continued effort to support accessibility and connection across the floral supply chain, CalFlowers confirmed that registration and exhibit pricing will remain unchanged from 2024. This approach allows members and industry partners to plan ahead and incorporate costs into their 2026 budgets with confidence.

"Holding pricing steady for 2026 reflects our commitment to making Fun 'N Sun welcoming and accessible to everyone in the floral community," said Lane DeVries. "As we celebrate 85 years as an association, we want growers, wholesalers, retailers, designers, educators, and partners to come together and experience this milestone event without the barrier of rising costs."

Attendees will have the opportunity to participate in guided tours of The Original Los Angeles Flower Market and The Southern California Flower Market, providing a behind-the-scenes look at daily operations, product diversity, and the rich history of the floral district. The program will also include an exclusive tour of Fiesta Productions, Inc., where participants will see firsthand the creativity, engineering, and floral artistry behind Pasadena's world-famous Rose Parade floats.
