From July 26 to August 4 Vancouver’s West End, and Downtown, including Jim Deva Plaza, Davie Street, Bentall Centre and Park Place, will bloom with exuberant floral installations during Pride week. Fleurs de Villes’ famous floral installations will inspire hope, love and inclusion for this joyous celebration.
Experience a pair of wild and colourful Pride mannequins and a giant heart at Bentall Centre, a rainbow-hued floral sculpture called “Heart Hands” at Park Place, massive floral PRIDE letters in Davie Village as well as disco balls and flowers adorning the trees at Jim Deva Plaza.
As with all Fleurs de Villes events, local floral artists will come together to present a colourful, dynamic, and inclusive feast for the senses, including Aina Floral, Greenscape Design and Decor, and Manites Flower Shop.
Enter the “Smile, Share and Win” Instagram contest by sharing your best photos of the Pride floral installations and tagging @fleursdevilles and #FDVPrice and you will be entered to win a $250 Pride-themed bouquet.
With the support of the West End BIA, Bentall Centre and QuadReal Property Group, Fleurs de Villes co-founder Karen Marshall says “We could not be more happy to be able to bring joy through flowers to this important celebration of Pride. Public celebrations such as this shed light on both the progress and the work there is still to do around inclusivity for the 2SLGBTQAI+ communities.”
“Pride is a special time in the West End, full of joyful events and celebrations, and we are excited to welcome back Fleurs de Villes Pride as part of the festivities. The rainbow-hued pop-up floral installations are the perfect addition to our colourful Davie Village community and for our inaugural Davie Village Pop-Up Pride event on August 3rd,” says Teri Smith, Executive Director of the West End BIA.
