What to Know
A Longer Anniversary Run
Macy's expanded the show to three weeks for the first time, carrying it through Mother's Day. The retailer expected more than one million visitors; that figure was a forecast, not an attendance result.
A Living Display Inside a Store
More than 8,000 plants and 50,000 flowers, representing 45 varieties, filled the main floor, balconies, windows, facade, and installations. Refreshing the plants throughout the run helped sustain the display.
Fragrance and Flowers
YSL Beauty's The Art of Flowers installation combined metallic forms with lavender, orange blossom, sage, geranium, and fern. Fragrance and cosmetics presentations formed part of the commercial partnership.
Tulips and Buildable Botanicals
Holland America Line presented a Dutch-inspired tulip landscape. LEGO contributed Botanicals displays, flower carts, a mosaic wall, and selected Build-a-Bloom activities.
The People Behind the Planting
ManscapersNY developed the landscapes, with flowers supplied through The Bouqs Co. Macy's flower-show history reaches back to 1946, while the 2025 celebration marked 50 years at Herald Square. The official Macy's site carries event information.
