Fun 'N Sun Weekend® now known as the California Floral Convention was created 15 years ago by the California Association of Flower Growers & Shippers as a forum to showcase the best in California flowers. The convention has grown into the premier floral event in California and is open to fresh flower wholesalers, large volume buyers and members of CAFG&S.

The dates for the 2008 California Floral Convention will be July 30-August 2, 2008. We have chosen the Hyatt Regency in Long Beach, California, to host our 2008 convention.
 

Settled along five-and-a-half miles of sandy coastline, Long Beach is the quintessential vacation getaway, boasting both the ambience of a sophisticated urban center and the charm of a seaside community. Located just 20 miles south of Los Angeles, California’s fifth largest city offers visitors a dynamic range of oceanfront hotels, attractions, shopping, recreational activities, art and culture, restaurants and nightly entertainment that make it an ideal destination for any time of the year.

Long Beach has emerged as a community full of unique neighborhoods and cultural diversity. Located just a mile down Ocean Boulevard is the seaside community of Belmont Shore, which features Second Street—a shopper’s mecca and premier location for outdoor dining and people watching. Tucked behind Belmont Shore is one of the city’s most romantic destinations, Naples Island, where Italian-style gondoliers cruise along the canals lined with picturesque, million-dollar homes. Alamitos Bay is just past Belmont Shore offering waterfront dining and views of rows and rows of sailboats. Downtown Long Beach is a perfect blend of sophisticated urban center and charming seaside community, and is filled with a myriad of entertainment choices. For more international flavors, visitors can discover the city’s historic Spanish roots in Bixby Knolls or experience the prevalent Cambodian community along Anaheim Street.
