Macy’s Flower Show returns to Herald Square on Thursday, April 23, turning the Manhattan flagship’s main floor into a free floral installation through May 10. (macysinc.com) Macy’s said the 2026 show is its 51st edition and will run at the Herald Square store from April 23 to May 10, with displays tied to Mother’s Day. The company’s event page says the theme is “Homegrown.” (macysinc.com) (macys.com) The official Macy’s description says visitors will see towering planters, stained-glass garden panels and yarn-wrapped trees. Macy’s said the show is designed as “a journey through America’s greenhouse.” (macys.com) Time Out reported that this year’s show centers on America’s gardens, while Macy’s said the installation will include floral art, regional botanicals and visual storytelling. The company also said Valentino Beauty is the presenting partner.

Macy’s and local event listings say guests can walk in during store hours without tickets. (macys.com) (visitmanhattan.nyc) Macy’s said the Herald Square show will also include customer events tied to beauty and spring fashion, including live styling demonstrations, beauty master classes and gifts with purchase. Those programs are scheduled during the run-up to Mother’s Day. (businesswire.com) The company is also expanding the format beyond New York this year with a pop-up Flower Show at Macy’s State Street in Chicago from April 16 to May 10. Macy’s announced both locations in the same April 2026 release. (macysinc.com) For New Yorkers, the timing is later than the dates circulating in some city event roundups this week. Macy’s official pages list the Herald Square opening as Thursday, April 23, not April 20, and the show runs through Sunday, May 10. (macys.com) (macysinc.com) By Thursday morning, Herald Square will again be doing what the Flower Show has done for decades: replacing racks and escalators with enough blooms and set pieces to make a department store feel like a spring garden.
