Located in the Gage Park Greenhouse, you’ll easily be able to spend hours wandering amongst the breathtaking blooms and appreciating everything the Chrysanthemum show has to offer.
Held annually in October, when chrysanthemums bloom, the theme of this event changes each year. That means that you’ll get a new experience each year you go.
The 2025 edition will feature the theme “Under the Sea,” transforming more than 20,000 square feet of indoor space into an ocean-inspired showcase.
As you walk through the flowers and displays, you’ll be treated to thousands of gorgeous flowers. The exhibition includes over 200 varieties of chrysanthemums and more than 100,000 blooms cultivated on-site.
The display will feature floral arrangements designed to resemble sea creatures and coral reefs, along with interactive installations intended to engage visitors of all ages.
In addition to the floral exhibits, the event offers weekend children’s activities, educational programs, and an on-site café for visitors. Guests can also visit the Flower Market, which allows them to build their own bouquets, purchase fresh-cut flowers, and browse floral merchandise.
