Celebrating spring and the wealth of flora it brings us every year, the city of Funchal is once again the stage for this sumptuous spectacle that will please both the eyes and nose. The theme for this year's Flower Festival, set to take place between 15 and 18 April, is "Earth", tying in with the celebrations for the International Year of Biodiversity.

This year the Madeira Island's 5th International Film
Festival will include debates, street entertainment, guided tours and parties
at night. The event is supported by the Regional Secretariat of Tourism and Transport
/ Official Tourism Board and will form part of the Annual Calendar of Tourist
Entertainment.

This year’s prize money is EUR 700.000.
After being held at the Santo da Serra Golf Club on Madeira Island for many
years, this year it will be held once again on the paradisical island of Porto
Santo.
