These days, Namangan is in the spotlight of people from all over the world. For the 63rd time, this ancient and beautiful land is hosting the most unusual holiday of grace and beauty – the International Flower Festival.

The Zakhiriddin Muhammad Babur Culture and Recreation Park and the Valley of Legends Park are filled daily with our compatriots and lovers, and connoisseurs of beauty from distant countries. According to the regional tourism department, over the first ten days of the 63rd International Flower Festival, more than 3 million 794 thousand 870 compatriots and 148 thousand foreign tourists from 57 countries became its guests.

Considering the growing interest in the event for foreign and domestic tourists, it was decided to increase the duration of the festival this year to 40 days. Based on modern landscape design, 45 million flower seedlings have been planted along the venues and the regional center. For comparison, in 2018, this figure was 4.5, and in 2023, it was 35 million.

To ensure the diversity of the festival program, the international scientific and practical conference “Development of tourism networks on the Silk Road”, days of regional culture, the conference “Boborakhim Mashrab – the pride of Namangan”, the tour programs of the Symphony Orchestra and the State Drama Theater of Uzbekistan were held at a high level. Undoubtedly, the national competition “Followers of Kamoliddin Rakhimov”, international hand-to-hand combat competitions, the IT business forum, as well as the events of the Five Important Initiatives will arouse keen interest among citizens of all ages.
