What is the Branch & Bloom Flower Festival?

Rebecca Dufort, the owner of Branch & Bloom Floral Boutique, has created a local flower festival inspired by her experiences of attending and creating botanical art featured in FleurAmour Flower Festivals in Belgium. FleurAmour has been an annual event for 26 years and annually showcases a new theme for roughly 400 participating floral artists that travel from all over the world. The event takes place in the 800 year-old Alden Biesen castle, exhibits musicians and vendors, welcomes over 15,000 people over 4 days and features roughly 200,000 flowers in decorated structures.

Rebecca has brought a taste of FleurAmour to New England by hosting the Branch & Bloom Flower Festival at her 228 year old historic home and property in Tuftonboro, NH to inspire our local community through the art of flowers and botanical structures. Though it is not a castle, it is quite an enchanting, old world experience!

The theme for the festival in 2025 is The Five Elements of Nature: Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Spirit, a tribute to the natural wonders that we are so fortunate to be surrounded by here in the Lakes Region.

Thanks to the feedback from hundreds of last year's attendees - we are excited to expand the experience to include artisan vendor participation, food trucks, music, live demos and additional hands-on workshops. We hope you will join us, either by attending as a guest, vendor participation or festival sponsorship. Thank you for your interest in being a part of such a special event that supports small business, art and the local community.
