These farms are located in the picturesque rural areas around Medellín\, particularly in the town of Santa Elena\, where the tradition of silletería originated. \nA visit to a Finca Silletera provides a unique opportunity to see the fields where flowers are grown and harvested\, and to learn about the painstaking process of crafting a silleta. Guests can interact with the silleteros\, often from families who have passed down this craft through generations\, and hear stories about the history and significance of their work. The visit typically includes demonstrations of how silletas are made\, from selecting the flowers to arranging them into the detailed designs that are later showcased in the famous Silleteros Parade. \n📚 History & Interesting Facts:\nThe tradition of silletería dates back to the early 20th century when farmers from Santa Elena would carry their flower harvests on their backs in wooden frames called “silletas” down to Medellín for sale. This practice evolved into a cultural expression\, with the silletas becoming increasingly elaborate. The first official Desfile de Silleteros (Silleteros Parade) took place in 1957\, marking the formal recognition of this unique art form as a central part of the Feria de las Flores. Today\, the parade is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage event\, and the silleteros are revered cultural icons of Antioquia. Their work represents not just floriculture but a deep connection to their land\, traditions\, and community. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Download the Flower Festival Medellin 2025 Free PDF Guide in English \n \n \n Since the official program of Feria de las Flores is in Spanish\, we at Medellin Guru have created a guide adapted to the English language for all our readers.
