Established in 1985,[1] the 35th annual event was held in 2019.[2]

The 2020 festival was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic and a statewide restriction on large events.[3] The 9,000 pots of flowers prepared for the festival were donated to local assisted living care centers through online donations.[4]
