Our Theme for Flower Mart 2022 - A Haven of Peace |
|
For over 100 years, the 57 acres of the Cathedral Close have served as a place where people of all faiths gather for reflection, solace, comfort, and enjoyment.
As our global community continues to restore its footing, we celebrate the "haven of peace" that these beautiful and historic gardens and grounds provide to our neighbors and visitors from around the world.
We hope you will partner with us and support this 82nd Flower Mart!

Ride our Antique Carousel at Flower Mart |
|
Our century-old wooden carousel, now on the National Register of Historic Places, is a favorite of young and old. Lovingly restored over a 20 year period, each hand-painted animal is a work of art with special significance.
Before catching a glimpse of the carousel, Flower Mart visitors hear the music of the Wurlitzer caliola calling them to ride. Following Flower Mart 2019, the caliola and its case were moved to Baltimore for a complete overhaul. After two years in storage you can hear it's cheerful sound once again!

There's Something for everyone at Flower Mart! |
|
At Flower Mart you can purchase spring plants for your garden, find treasures in our White Elephant Tent, children's books in our Book Tent, and shop for a wide array of merchandise at over 65 boutique booths. We feature free entertainment on both days of the festival, and we will again host the International Floral Display inside the Cathedral.
In addition to our carousel, there are children's rides and games, a wide variety of festival food and this year, a special carillon concert!
