The highlight of Flora Fest 2007, the Floral Parade, takes place on 27 January 2007 at Persiaran Perdana, Putrajaya. The colourful parade at 8 am will be officiated by His Majesty Sultan Mizan Zainal Abidin Ibni Almahrum Sultan Mahmud AlMuhtafi Billah Shah. The event will be attended by cabinet ministers, foreign dignitaries, invited guests and members of the public.
