In this post, I would like to talk about the ongoing flower show in Ahmedabad. If you are from Ahmedabad or around the city, then you must not miss the chance to attend it.
If you follow my blog, you already know I am from Ahmedabad and how much I love to explore my city. Ahmedabad is the largest city and the former capital of Gujarat. It’s located on the banks of the Sabarmati river and emerging as a heritage city and smart city. Not only Ahmedabad popular as a travel destination and favorite shopping spot, but also known for its culture, heritage, diamond cutting, cotton textiles, festivals, events, and street food.
Ahmedabad is also well known for marathons, trekking, cycling, camping, conferences, live concerts, Kankaria Carnival, International Kite flying festival, riverfront, college events, and other happening events in the city. Among them is the popular flower show at the riverfront park in Ahmedabad. AMC ( Amdavad Municipal Corporation ) annually holds this Flower Show at Sabarmati Riverfront.
