Central Park, a Gurugram-based real estate developer under the Bakshi Group of Enterprises, recently hosted its much-awaited annual Flower Show across Central Park Resorts and Central Park Flower Valley. Both developments were transformed into visually striking floral landscapes, welcoming residents and guests for a celebration that brought together nature, culture and community living.

One of Central Park’s signature community initiatives, the Flower Show featured an elegant display of winter blooms such as chrysanthemums, spider pompons, daisies and other seasonal varieties. Carefully curated floral installations, immersive thematic zones and lush pathways created a refined yet inviting atmosphere, encouraging residents to engage with nature while strengthening community bonds.

The celebrations began with a traditional lamp-lighting ceremony led by senior citizen residents, setting a warm and inclusive tone. The event also featured soulful live performances that added to the festive ambience. A thoughtfully curated line-up of community-led activities followed, including children’s art sessions, sustainability-focused games, a community fashion show, Christmas tree decoration activities, talent showcases, live singing performances, DJ-led evenings and seasonal gourmet food experiences by St. Jerome, Central Park’s hospitality vertical.
