The Toulouse Violet Festival is an annual event dedicated to the violet flower, which has become the symbol of Toulouse, a city in southwestern France. The festival takes place in February and attracts many visitors, both locals and tourists, who want to enjoy the beauty of this flower and the festive atmosphere.

Violets were first grown in Toulouse at the end of the 19th century. The flowers quickly gained popularity due to their beautiful appearance and pleasant aroma. Toulouse became known as the "city of violets", and this inspired local producers to create a variety of products using these flowers.
