The annual Flower Fest is underway this week, and Curt mentioned that we’re about halfway through. It runs from Monday through Sunday, so that checks out, with today being Thursday.
Of course, many of my villagers had flowers set up outside of their homes…even if a lot of them were wilted. Here is Drift’s house.
Tank was disappointed that shamrocks don’t count as flowers. Although, I think he means clovers in general, not just shamrocks. 
Tortimer was standing outside of town hall to talk about the event, and he also gave me a white tulip bag.
Filbert’s house nearby had a lot of flowers; here’s a look at it:
I decided to help him out by planting my white tulip near his house. I’m not trying to win the event myself. It’s not worth the effort for me. 
I won the event once, in 2019, and I don’t feel the need to do it again.
Filbert’s mind wasn’t on flowers, though. He wanted to play a word game, where we name types of food that starts with the last letter of the previous food. I started with “plum,” then he said “mango,” I replied with “orange,” and so on. But after a few rounds back and forth, he got tired and basically forfeited.
When I visited Robin, she told me that she wished she could walk around and not have to talk to the people she sees. I’m right with you on that one! 
When I walked by Whitney’s house, I saw that she had a lot of flowers too.
I have no idea who’s going to win this event, and I won’t know until next week. But there are a lot of good contenders this year…I’m just not one of them. Good luck to you if you’re participating this year!
