Mums at Meijer Gardens 2026

Mums at Meijer Gardens returns for its 28th year this October, featuring Michigan's largest chrysanthemum display across the grounds. You'll find thousands of mums in gorgeous autumn shades—golds, rusts, creams, and deep browns—arranged throughout different gardens including the Grand Entry Garden and Grace Jarecki Seasonal Display Garden. Beyond the flowers, the grounds showcase seasonal pumpkins and gourds grown by Michigan farmers, ornamental grasses, and creative fall arrangements that create a colorful backdrop for a family stroll. The gardens offer plenty to explore both indoors and out, and if you visit on Tuesday evenings during Autumn Nights, there's extra to enjoy: live entertainment, children's activities, food trucks, pumpkin carving demonstrations, and seasonal refreshments. Admission is free if you're a member, or included with your daily garden ticket. It's a wonderful way to celebrate the season without needing to plan around specific activity times—you can enjoy the displays at your own pace while catching live entertainment if the Tuesday timing works for your family.
