Hi friends, welcome back! I’m working on my NYC Spring Bucket List, and the first thing I’m crossing off is the 48th Annual 2023 Macy’s Flower Show. The show ran from March 26th through April 10th at the 34th Street Herald Square location. It’s free to checkout and open during store hours. The flowers are featured throughout the fragrance and handbag department as well as the window displays on Broadway.
The flower show is in collaboration with Dior and the Fashion Institute of Technology with a theme of “Big Dreams Bloom Here”. Per the press release, “This year’s floral extravaganza will transport guests to a dream-like city in the sky, as thousands of plants, flowers and trees take root in the iconic store’s main floor”
This year they offered twenty-minute guided tours every twenty minutes from the time the store opens, until 1pm. The tours “explain the history of the Flower Show at Macy’s, how it comes together each year, and the inspiration for this spring’s event. Plus, they’ll describe the full details of all the plants that appear in the show.” I didn’t a join a tour this year, but I’ll add it to my list for next year.
This year’s flower show was noticeably busier than last year, but I decided to just embrace the chaos, or I’d be waiting all day to get the perfect shot. I usually avoid this area of the city because it’s so busy, but I’ll make an exception for some spring blooms.
Hope you enjoyed this little bit of spring! Stay tuned for more blooms 😊
