Niwot Flower Fest coming next week

Niwot’s first Flower Fest will be held on Aug. 5 from 10:00 a.m to 3:00 p.m. on Second Avenue and in Cottonwood Square Shopping Center in celebration of colorful summer blooms. Sponsored by Niwot Business Association and the Niwot Local Improvement District, the fest is being organized by Sarah Cioni, the owner of Belle Terre Floral, and Kathy Trauner, the owner of Fly Away Home Decor, with several fun events planned and lots of free flowers.

The first seventy-five arrivals at Fly Away Home for the Flower Fest will receive a punch card to use at ten participating businesses during the flower journey scavenger hunt. Participants can then bring the ten blooms collected to the Belle Terre Floral tent outside of Niwot Market and receive a vase and flower arranging tips.

Participating businesses include Blessings Day Spa, Inkberry Books, The Little Shop Niwot, and Niwot Jewelry & Gifts.

All of the flowers at the Fest will be sourced from local farmers to support local businesses. The main portion of the festival will take place outside of Niwot Market and will also include a speaker from Botanical Interests seed company, live music and a flower fairy. Participants can also receive free flower crowns and Taylor Swift-styled friendship bracelets.
