This floral toucan will greet you as you enter the Macy's
Spring Flower Show.

Welcome to spring Chicagoans! It came early this year and to celebrate, its time to head to the annual Macy’s Spring Flower Show. It’ll help get your mind into springtime mode. It’s free to check out, there are exciting events going on everyday and amazing floral arrangements.

The Macy’s on State Street is taking on a Brazilian theme with gardens of paradise. It is now on the 9th floor, with a few arrangements elsewhere in the store, but the 9th floor is where your trip begins. The show began March 25 and will continue until April 7.

Upon entering, you’re greeted by a colorful Toucan made of plants and small flowers. Walk through the maze of bright colors, lush and bold flowers and plants, and you’ll find some exotic flowers that are certainly picture-worthy and some cute scene settings.

There are plenty of events to check out while the show is still running. In March, they had various cooking demonstrations, live Brazilian music and family activities. But, there are more events coming in April. For the kiddies, huge animatronic bugs compliments of the Brookfield Zoo are placed within floral arrangements on the kid’s floor, cooking demonstrations featuring Brazilian food and yummy pastries.
