17th Annual Flower Festival is Mother’s Day Weekend

Include a Special Mother’s Day PIKE BOX for a Thoughtful Gift Experience

SEATTLE – Pike Place Market is bursting into bloom with the return of its beloved 17th Annual Flower Festival on Saturday, May 10 and Sunday, May 11, 2025, from 11:00am – 4:00pm. Every Mother’s Day weekend for the past 17 years, locals and visitors alike have flocked to the Market to celebrate the breathtaking beauty of the Pacific Northwest’s local flowers and farmers.

This year, over 35 flower farmers from King, Snohomish, and Whatcom counties will fill the Market’s iconic Arcade and cobblestone street, offering vibrant bouquets overflowing with tulips, daffodils, irises, and the season’s star — peonies. Whether you’re picking up a bouquet for Mom or all the mother figures in your life, or simply celebrating the joy of spring, this colorful event promises a memorable experience for all.

New this year, shoppers can also gift their loved ones with a specially curated Mother’s Day PIKE BOX — a hand-selected collection of Market favorites that capture the essence of Pike Place Market. Choose from seasonal produce, handcrafted bouquets, fresh herbs, whipped body butter and more, all produced locally by Market farmers.

Pre-order your Mother’s Day PIKE BOX by May 2, and pick it up on Wednesday, May 7. Choose your favorite items or gift the full collection! Learn more and order at: PikePlaceMarket.org/PIKEBOX
