SAPPORO Flower Carpet 2017 will be held over a 4-day period from Thursday, June 22th to Sunday, June 25th at Sapporo Kita 3-jo Plaza (hereafter referred to as Akapla).
Flower Carpet is a biennial event that is held in the Belgian capital of Brussels, in which a large picture is created using flower petals and other natural materials.
This will be the 4th time the event has been held in Sapporo since 2014.

Each year, over 500 volunteers made up of local residents and people from neighboring regions create a colorful tapestry by covering the plaza with the petals of flowers like roses, carnations and the like, attracting large numbers of people.
The Flower Carpet is held thanks to the support of countless volunteers – both individual and from organizations. The floodlit nighttime event, which unfortunately could not be held last year, will hopefully return again this year with the help of everyone’s support in the form of crowdfunding^*.
