It lasted five days and it was because it lacked something emerging from the current brightness. However, with houses in various parts of the city and private parties in social clubs, Antioquenos enjoyed the magic of flowers.
When programming then included a flower show in the Atrium of the Cathedral, organized by the Garden Club of Medellin. In addition, the parade began Silleteros, with the participation of 40 farmers in the village of Santa Elena, which were grouped in the Bolivar Park.
