The 25th Bangsbo Flower Festival took place in fantastic weather, with a speech by Mayor Birgit S. Hansen, who praised all the actors involved in the now revived event. She also named the Bud of the Year in Bangsbo – Carl Christian Madsen – long-time editor of Nordjyske Stiftstidende and Lokalavisen. He has now retired.
After the opening ceremony, invited guests and many of the festival's guests went to area 7 – Denmark's Wild Plants, which was solemnly inaugurated with speeches by chairman of the board Preben Reinholt, director Morten Kock from the Spar Nord Foundation, and of course mayor Birgit S. Hansen. After this, the silk cord was cut, and with this, all the planned installations in the 8-hectare garden have been completed after approximately 34 years – a very memorable day.
