| Dallas, TX – Spring arrives in Dallas with the return of Dallas Blooms, presented by Amegy Bank, the Dallas Arboretum and Botanical Garden’s most iconic annual tradition. Running February 21 through April 12, 2026, Dallas Blooms welcomes the city back to spring with more than 500,000 blooming bulbs planted throughout the garden. Across the season, sweeping displays of tulips, daffodils, hyacinths and other seasonal favorites transform the landscape into a living tapestry of color and scale. Each week, new blooms emerge, ensuring the garden evolves continuously from opening day through the height of spring. Dallas Blooms has earned national recognition as a standout, immersive spring experience. Southern Living named Dallas Blooms “one of the best places to see spring blooms,” and Newsweek ranked the Dallas Arboretum among the top gardens in the country to see cherry blossoms. “Dallas Blooms is a pivotal moment for the city of Dallas,” said Sabina Carr, President/CEO. “It signals the end of winter and the return of color, beauty and time spent outdoors. When spring returns, so do the blooms, and that promise has brought generations of guests back to the Arboretum year after year.” A beloved staple for longtime members and a must-see experience for first-time visitors, Dallas Blooms blends tradition with breathtaking scale. Each year’s display reinforces why the exhibition has become synonymous with springtime in Dallas, offering guests an experience that feels both familiar and unmistakably alive. “The Dallas Arboretum continues to be a treasured cornerstone of our community, a place where families, friends and visitors can gather, recharge and enjoy the springtime weather that sets North Texas apart,” said Carlos Munguia, Amegy Bank’s Dallas-Fort Worth region president and CEO. “Dallas Blooms 2026 builds on a long tradition of excellence, and we are proud to once again support an event that brings such extraordinary horticultural artistry to our Dallas-Fort Worth neighbors and guests from around the country.” In addition to the expansive floral displays, Dallas Blooms features a robust lineup of seasonal programming that brings together food, art, culture and horticulture, offering guests new reasons to return throughout the spring.
