Enjoy free daffodils, meet local farmers, and welcome the new season at the Market!
SEATTLE – Pike Place Market invites Seattleites to celebrate the beginning of spring at the 29th Annual Daffodil Day on Friday, March 20, from 11 am to 2 pm. Visitors will receive a free bundle of fresh daffodils (while supplies last), meet the local farmers who harvested them, and celebrate the arrival of warmer, brighter days! Guests can also enjoy performances from Market buskers and sign up for the first PIKE BOX CSA of the season.
This annual event is an ideal opportunity to explore Pike Place Market before peak summer season – shop for one-of-a-kind gifts, high-quality produce, and specialty foods you won’t find anywhere else!
Supporting Local Flower Farmers
All flowers at Pike Place Market are grown within 100 miles of Seattle and sourced from multi-generational, family-run farms that have been selling at the Market for over 30 years. This year’s daffodils are proudly grown by K.P.P Garden, Nguyen Family Farm, Thai Tao Farm, and Va Cha Garden — farms that are all women-owned/operated and have been staples of the Market for decades.
Experience Live Market Buskers
Live performances will take place on the Farm Truck Stage under the Clock & Sign from 10:30 am to 2 pm. The lineup includes:
10:30 am – 11:30 am: Victory Rose
11:45 am – 12:45 pm: Trueman Beccia
1 pm – 2 pm: The Black Mariah Theater
Discover the PIKE BOX Program
Daffodil Day also marks the start of registration for PIKE BOX, a weekly farm-to-customer program supporting over 40 Washington farmers that brings fresh, local produce directly to consumers. Starting on March 20, visitors can register for the Spring PIKE BOX and Summer PIKE BOX and learn more about how the program supports local agriculture.
Join us as we welcome the first day of spring with flowers, shopping, and community at Pike Place Market!
