Take a trip around the world at the Cathedral this weekend during the 85th annual Flower Mart!

One of the most beloved traditions at Flower Mart is when our neighbors at embassies pull out all the stops to represent their home countries in elaborate floral displays.

The Swiss are back, with an adorable mountain scene and miniature railway, and the arrangements are arriving from Madagascar, Colombia, Ecuador and more. In total, about 15 countries will be represented.

Check out this beauty from Hong Kong. Others include Liechtenstein, Czech Republic, France, Haiti, Japan, Bulgaria, United Kingdom, USA, Taiwan, Ukraine and Kosovo.

Admission is free on Friday (10 am to 6 pm) and Saturday (10 am to 5 pm). All proceeds go to All Hallows Guild, the all-volunteer group that has been tending the gardens and grounds of the Cathedral since 1916. Vendors, performances, food trucks, games and more!
