More than 80,000 people visited the Flower Carpet in Bradford during its four-day run.
Organisers estimated that 71,600 attended the installation in Centenary Square between September 24 and 27.
An additional 10,000 people attended the evening sound and light show.
'Celebration of heritage, community and creativity'
Jenny Harris, director of producing at Bradford Culture Company, said: "The Flower Carpet was a truly collaborative cultural experience and a spectacular celebration of our heritage, community and creativity.

"The feedback that we've had has been brilliant, not just from Bradford residents but also from people who travelled across the country to see it.
"The dahlias have gone on to community groups, artists and makers to create further projects, and then back into the ground as they naturally decompose.
"We're truly grateful to everyone who came to see the flowers in bloom, as well as Tapis de Fleurs Bruxelles, Bradford artists Shiraaz Ali and MARF, and the fantastic Bradford participants who brought the Flower Carpet to life."
UK debut attracts global attention
The installation marked the UK debut of the internationally acclaimed Flower Carpet project.
It transformed Centenary Square into a living artwork made from more than 300,000 dahlia flower heads.
Designed by Bradford artist Shiraaz Ali, the 29-metre-wide display was inspired by the city’s textile heritage and diverse communities.

Thousands take part in creative activities
The project also encouraged public involvement, with around 1,312 people taking part in creative activities led by United Art Project over the weekend.
Images of the display were shared widely on social media and featured in international press coverage from countries including Canada and Vietnam.
First popularised in Belgium in the 1970s, Flower Carpets have become major international attractions.
Bradford’s edition celebrated the district’s industrial heritage and contemporary identity through vibrant colour and design.
After the event, the dahlias were given to community groups, artists and makers before being returned to the ground to decompose naturally.
