I didn't think it was a "food" and flower festival, but just a flower / garden frestival.
Either way, its good news since I will be there during that time.
Gottu say its tough to think any of these special periods are going to be that awesome after watching some friends post pictures from Christmas ... wow, those lights.
Think I might just have to save save save (since its likely there are no discounts) and head down for Christmas 2014.
