Experience FYJA 2026 with Capitalia

The Festival Flores y Jardines (FYJA) is an annual urban festival dedicated to floral design, landscape architecture, and the beauty of nature in the city.

During the event, Polanco becomes an open-air exhibition, where storefronts, buildings, and public spaces are transformed with breathtaking floral installations.

Each year, designers create large-scale artistic compositions using flowers, plants, and natural materials — turning everyday streets into immersive botanical experiences.

What makes FYJA unique is that the entire neighborhood becomes part of the exhibition.

You don’t visit a venue.

You walk through it.

The 2026 edition of FYJA will take place from April 30 to May 3, marking a special milestone: ten years of floral design in Mexico City.

Theme for 2026 “México, Memoria y Futuro”

This year’s concept celebrates Mexico’s cultural heritage while imagining sustainable landscapes and future urban ecosystems.

Designers will interpret the theme through installations that reflect:

• Mexico’s biodiversity
• Traditional craftsmanship
• Contemporary design
• Sustainable landscaping

The festival takes place across Polanco’s most iconic streets and parks, turning the entire neighborhood into a walkable botanical gallery.



Parque Lincoln

One of the main hubs of the festival.

Expect:

• large floral sculptures
• artistic garden installations
• interactive design pieces

This park becomes one of the most photographed spots during FYJA.

Parque América

Located just a few blocks away, this park also hosts installations and design interventions, making it an essential stop during the festival walk.

Avenida Masaryk

Polanco’s most famous avenue becomes a runway of flowers.

Luxury boutiques, galleries, and restaurants decorate their façades with extraordinary floral compositions, creating some of the festival’s most impressive displays.

Walking Masaryk during FYJA feels like stepping into a living garden.

Part of FYJA’s charm is its visual impact.

The festival attracts photographers, creators, and visitors looking to capture the unique contrast between architecture and nature.

You’ll find:

• floral arches
• giant botanical sculptures
• blooming storefronts
• colorful installations covering entire buildings

It’s no surprise the event generates thousands of photos and viral videos every year.
