It's been two long years since the last Flower Mart, an annual tradition at the National Cathedral since 1939. It went on during World War II but was AWOL for two years, 2020 and 2021, due to the worldwide pandemic.
How we've missed it!
It's free and open to all.
Friday, May 6 From 10 AM Until 6 PM
Saturday, May 7 From 10 AM Until 5 PM
The theme this year is "A Haven of Peace." Be sure to view the International Floral Display inside the Cathedral, including the bouquet from Ukraine.
ACTIVITIES:
- Ride the antique carousel.
- Visit the many craft and vendor booths.
- Find treasures at the White Elephant Sale.
- Tour the International Floral Display.
- Enjoy live performances by dancers, choral groups, bands, and more! Find the performance schedule here: https://allhallowsguild.org/programs/flower-mart/fun-activities/
- Cathedral Carillon Concert, played on the Cathedral's 53 bronze bell carillon.
- Eat! International cuisines, snacks and treats.
- Carnival rides & games for the kiddies.
You can download and print a map of all the vendors and activities here:

No Tower Climb this year (due to the part that goes up a long, narrow, enclosed stone staircase) and no indoor "Tea in the Tower." Maybe next year!
Hope for good weather!
