The Macy’s Flower Show is back! In late April, Macy’s Herald Square in Midtown transforms its space into a stunning floral display. Shoppers move past racks of clothing and straight into rooms filled with vibrant colors and thousands of blooms. It’s a charming NYC tradition that brings in locals and visitors every spring.
Here’s what to know about the 2026 Macy’s Flower Show.
What is the Macy’s Flower Show?
The Macy’s Flower Show is an annual spring event held inside the flagship Macy’s Herald Square store. The tradition goes back decades and has become part of the city’s seasonal calendar. It’s like the beloved holiday window displays, but with a springtime twist.
Each April, Macy’s transforms sections of its main floor into magical floral environments. Designers build large installations using fresh flowers, greenery, and themed set pieces. The concept changes annually, but the core idea stays the same: bring a full spring display into the middle of Midtown. If you’re walking past, it will draw you right in.
When is the 2026 Macy’s Flower Show?
The 2026 Macy’s Flower Show is happening from Thursday, April 23rd through Sunday, May 10th, 2026.
The show is open during regular store hours. Admission is free, and visitors can enter through the main Herald Square entrances on 34th Street.
Where Does the Flower Show Take Place?
The event takes place inside Macy’s Herald Square at 151 West 34th Street in Manhattan.
The displays usually take up large sections of the main floor, near the entrances and central walkways. Visitors can move through the installations at their own pace. It’s common to take photos before continuing through the store.
What Have Past Flower Shows Been Like?
Past experiences have featured themed environments with quite a range, including whimsical garden landscapes, pop culture-inspired displays, and brand collabs.
The size is generally consistent. You’ll see thousands of flowers with layered textures and strong color palettes. The main floor feels transformed for a few weeks.
Visitors treat the show as a photo stop. It brings in families, tourists, office workers on lunch break, and locals who make it part of a spring walk through Midtown. Because it sits inside a functioning department store, it’s a different feel from a botanical garden. You step off the sidewalk, and within a few steps you are surrounded by orchids, tulips, hydrangeas, and seasonal blooms.
Additional details about the 2026 theme and specific design elements are expected to be announced soon.
Is There a Cost to Attend?
No. The Macy’s Flower Show is free and open to the public during store hours.
The Macy’s Flower Show brings spring indoors at one of New York City’s most recognizable retail stores. From April 23rd through May 10th, 2026, Herald Square becomes part retail space, part floral display.
