The Azucar Flower Festival was inspired by the fiesta de los flores held every August in MedellĂ­n, Colombia's second largest city.

The park was decorated with displays produced by the Walworth-based Latin American Multicultural Group.

The event also featured fairground rides, live music and dance as well as Latin American food and drink.
