Welcome The First Day Of Spring With Free Daffodils At Pike Place Market

Celebrate the first day of spring at Pike Place Market’s 29th Annual Daffodil Day!

Spring arrives in Seattle with longer days, fresh blooms, and one of the city’s most beloved seasonal traditions. At Pike Place Market, locals and visitors alike gather each year to welcome the new season with bright yellow daffodils and a celebration of the region’s farming community. This March marks the return of the Market’s 29th Annual Daffodil Day, a cheerful event that captures the spirit of spring and highlights the deep connection between the Market and local growers.

Stop by the Market’s famous Pike Place Market Clock & Sign to pick up a free bundle of fresh daffodils on Friday, March 20, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. (or until supplies last). While you’re there, you’ll also have the chance to learn more about the local flower farmers who grew them and the traditions that have kept the Market’s flower stalls thriving for generations.

Flowers have long been a defining feature of Pike Place Market. Every bouquet sold at the Market is grown within 100 miles of Seattle, sourced directly from multi-generational, family-run farms that have been selling at the Market for more than 30 years. These farmers arrive early each morning with fresh-cut blooms, continuing a tradition that connects the city to the surrounding agricultural communities of the Pacific Northwest.

Make a day of it by exploring everything the Market has to offer. Stroll through the historic arcade, browse vibrant produce stands and artisan shops, grab a bite from one of the many eateries, or pick up a unique, locally made gift. With spring flowers in hand and the buzz of the Market all around you, Daffodil Day is the perfect excuse to spend a little extra time discovering (or rediscovering) this iconic Seattle landmark.
