Buckhead Bursts into Bloom with Community-Wide Spring Flower Festival

Bodacious Blooms celebration runs April 27 through May 2

ATLANTA – April 8, 2026 – Spring is arriving in a big way in Buckhead this year. Livable Buckhead has announced Bodacious Blooms, a weeklong community-wide flower festival inviting residents and visitors to enjoy floral installations, seasonal menus and spring-inspired activations from April 27 through May 2.

Designed as an open, self-guided celebration rather than a single ticketed event, Bodacious Blooms encourages people to stroll and discover Buckhead’s shopping districts, restaurants and greenspaces, including PATH400, at their own pace.

“Bodacious Blooms reminds you why you love where you live,” said Denise Starling, executive director of Livable Buckhead. “Every corner of the community has something seasonal and beautiful happening — from world-class floral design to a garden tour to spring menus at some of Buckhead’s best restaurants. There’s no agenda, no schedule to follow. Just get outside and let Buckhead surprise you!”

Festival Highlights

Buckhead Village District (April 30 – May 2): The district’s spring transformation anchors the festival weekend, with storefront displays, in-store specials and spring-inspired menus and cocktails throughout. Atlanta-based floral designer Canaan Marshall, known for his signature vibrant Southern style and his work on HBO Max’s Full Bloom, returns to lead a hands-on workshop and create a large-scale live floral installation on The Veranda. New this year, Buckhead Village District will debut a Spring Fashion Show hosted by Carousel Fine Art, featuring seasonal looks from participating brands and boutiques.

Participating Restaurants: Buckhead’s dining community is embracing the season with spring menus, floral cocktails and garden-themed atmospheres. Participating restaurants include Carmel, Louisiana Bistreaux Buckhead, Mission + Market, CT Reforma and Ecco Buckhead.

Fleurs de Villes FLORA at Phipps Plaza (April 29 – May 3): The showcase features large-scale fresh floral mannequin installations created by Atlanta-based designers, on display throughout the property. On May 2, visitors can explore additional activations including floral demonstrations, a pop-up flower market and Phipps Plaza’s Kentucky Derby viewing on The Green.

First Annual Chastain Park Home & Garden Tour (Saturday, May 2, 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.): Hosted by Chastain Park Conservancy, this self-guided walking tour offers a curated look inside select Chastain Park homes and gardens, with docents and volunteers providing context at each stop. Tickets are $50 per person (children 5 and under free), with all proceeds benefiting the Conservancy’s mission to keep the park clean, safe and green. Tickets are available online or at any participating home on tour day.

Spring Fling at Shops Around Lenox: Shops Around Lenox joins the festival with whimsical floral photo moments, complimentary seasonal sips, curated giveaways and exclusive in-store experiences from participating shops and restaurants.
