Macy’s has brought its Flower Show to Chicago for 2026, with a free pop-up now open at Macy’s on State Street through Sunday, May 10. (macys.com) The Chicago installation began Thursday, April 16, and Macy’s says it runs during store hours with no ticket required. The company’s State Street store page lists the Flower Show daily from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. through May 10. (macys.com 1) (macys.com 2) Macy’s describes the 2026 Chicago version as an “all-new floral pop-up” that starts on the main floor and extends to the seventh floor, with one display inside the Walnut Room in the former Marshall Field’s building. (macys.com) The show arrives in Chicago during the weekend of Friday, April 24, through Sunday, April 26, when Time Out Chicago included it in its city roundup of things to do. The listing points readers to Macy’s on State Street for the seasonal display. (timeout.com) This year’s Flower Show carries the theme “Homegrown,” which Macy’s said is built around American gardens, regional botanicals and floral art. Macy’s announced the Chicago pop-up as a new addition for 2026 while the main 51st annual Flower Show opens at Herald Square in New York on April 23. (macysinc.com) The Chicago format is smaller than the New York flagship version, but Macy’s has tied it to the same spring and Mother’s Day campaign it is running across the brand this year. Sharon Otterman, Macy’s chief marketing officer, said the Flower Show is part of the retailer’s “Celebrations Start at Macy’s” platform for 2026. (macysinc.com 1) (macysinc.com 2) Macy’s is also using the State Street show to anchor in-store brand events. The store page lists a Fossil pop-up on select dates between April 18 and May 8 as part of the Flower Show programming. (macys.com) For Chicago visitors, the practical detail is simple: the display is already open, it costs nothing to enter, and the busiest stretch of attention lands this weekend before the run continues into early May.
