The Sapporo Flower Carpet is an annual event which started in 2014 to commemorate the opening of Sapporo Kita 3-jo Plaza. Local volunteers work together to create incredible displays using flower petals and other natural materials, and the theme for the nature-based artworks changes every year.
For 2023, the theme for the main display is "Towards the future," and the flower carpet is set to depict Hokkaido-based bird and animal life. Whether you're a flower enthusiast or just appreciate the dedication and teamwork that comes with volunteer-led artistic displays, the Sapporo Flower Carpet is definitely worth a visit.
