Every April, the smell of fresh flowers fills the streets of Funchal for the Festival of the Flower (Festival da Flor). A parade of cars carries flowers arranged into amazing creations ranging from parrots to elaborate patterns.
Thousands of children gather to place a flower at the Municipal Square to make up the floral "Wall of Hope" (Muro da Esperança), and there are classical concerts and live folk music too.
