The Flower Fields of Carlsbad

Life in Full Bloom

From March to May, the rolling fields of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus create a vibrant blanket of flowers that bring the Carlsbad hills to life. There’s a miniature rose garden, fragrant sweet pea maze, a garden featuring more than 50 All American Rose Selection winners and a spectacular display of red, white and blue flowers planted in the shape of a giant American flag. This annual event has become part of the city's local heritage and brings flowers lovers from near and far to witness this spectacle.

The Carlsbad Hills are Bursting With Color

For the more than 60 years, the 50-acre hillside has been transformed into a sea of coordinated colorful blooms overlooking the Pacific Ocean. This annual event is San Diego's way of announcing the spring season has arrived in the most colorful way possible.
