The Macy's Flower Show, now in its 51st year, is a three-week experience at Macy's Herald Square that features thousands of live flowers arranged in mesmerizing floral displays.
This spring, experience Homegrown—our celebration of America’s 250th anniversary expressed through flowers, fiber & timeless handicrafts.
The Macy’s Flower Show is pleased to offer free tours to offer a personalized walk-through of the show. Led by the Macy’s Floral Guides, the “MFGs” are a small group of performers cast, professionally styled, trained and rehearsed by Macy's Studios, designed to build a bridge between guests and the thousands of curated flowers that make up the Flower Show. Throughout the tour, Guides share creative content, story points, and more - offering genuine hospitality and a unique, intimate experience.
