The story

Festival de Flores Catarina in Catarina

Catarina, a floriculture town overlooking Laguna de Apoyo, hosts a three-day Festival de Flores in May organized by the family economy ministry under the theme Nicaragua en Permanente Florecer. The event pairs expo fairs and flower float parades with the crowning of a carnival queen and business connections between growers and buyers.

Catarina sits on a ridge above Laguna de Apoyo in Masaya department, best known to visitors for the sweeping views from its Mirador, but locally the small town carries an equally strong identity as one of Nicaragua's centers of floriculture.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

Catarina's Mirador overlooking Laguna de Apoyo already makes it one of Nicaragua's most visited small towns, and the flower festival builds directly on the municipality's genuine agricultural strength in floriculture, one of its principal economic activities alongside apiculture, rustic furniture-making, and cement sculpture

02

The mystery stays covered

Rather than a purely decorative celebration, the festival is structured to create real commercial connections between flower producers and service providers, giving it a trade-fair function alongside its runway shows, float parades, and queen coronation
