\n \n Dahlias by the lake\n<\/h2>\n \n

The Dahlia Festival offers a unique way to discover Morges. Enjoy a stroll among the town, the lake, and the flowers. <\/p>\n

The flower beds display numerous varieties of dahlias. They stand out for their shapes, sizes, and colors. As the season progresses, the blooms change. The promenade thus takes on a new look. <\/p>\n

Take the time to walk along the quays and admire the flower beds. Also enjoy the view over Lake Geneva and the mountains. <\/p>\n

You can easily combine the visit with a stroll through the old town. You can also take a break by the lake or discover Morges’ other gardens and parks. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n \n A Morges tradition since 1996\n<\/h2>\n \n

The Dahlia Festival was created in Morges in 1996 on the initiative of local florist Ernest L\u00fcthi.
\nSince then, the Quai Igor-Stravinsky has hosted this floral exhibition every year, sustained by the work of the City of Morges, the association Morges Fleur du L\u00e9man, and many volunteers.
The event is part of a floral tradition that is now part of Morges’ identity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n
