Dallas Blooms, the largest floral festival in the Southwest, has been a tradition “Deep in the Hearts of Texans” for 31 years. This year’s Texas-sized extravaganza will feature more than 500,000 blooming spring bulbs along with themed topiaries, entertainment, food and other activities celebrating the iconography of our state that is recognizable world-wide.

Texas is known as the state that does it big: the Arboretum's horticultural department’s enterprising work is made evident throughout the 66-acre property – from the ground-breaking research conducted in our trial gardens to the 3,000 azaleas blooming in April. And it’s not just the “sage in bloom that’s like perfume”: the incredible color gardens featuring tulips, daffodils, Dutch Iris, hyacinths, violas and more than 100,000 pansies will paint the grounds throughout Spring.

In addition to these beautiful displays, the Arboretum also provides family-friendly activities on various days throughout the festival including face painting, petting zoos and concerts.
