The 16th Annual Flower Festival at Pike Place Market is a celebration of local farmers and the beautiful bouquets they put together every day. This popular event has been taking place over Mother’s Day weekend for the last 16 years. Celebrate the beauty and diversity of flowers in the Pacific Northwest on Saturday, May 11 and Sunday, May 12.

During Flower Festival, the Market will be filled, inside and outside, with 30+ local flower farms from King, Snohomish, and Whatcom counties. Bouquets will be bursting with tulips, daffodils, irises, and the season’s favorite peonies! Come early and pick out a bouquet or two for Mom and all the mother figures in your life.

Special Shopping Offer! Shoppers who spend $50 or more at any Market business on Saturday will receive a free limited-edition Pike Place Market flower vase, perfect for commemorating the day and displaying your bouquet.
