You're Invited to the 6th Annual Peony Celebration! 🌸

📅 Tuesday, July 1 – Sunday, August 17, 2025
📍 Homer, Alaska – The City of Peonies

Welcome to the City of Peonies

In 2017, Homer was officially named the “City of Peonies,” celebrating its 25 thriving peony farms. Over 20 peony gardens can be explored along Pioneer Avenue in both Downtown and Old Town Homer, as well as on Lake Street and Sterling Highway. These gardens offer self-guided tours marked by "Homer City of Peonies" and "Peonies on Pioneer" signs.

Enjoy a stroll through vibrant displays, explore local murals and the Peony Photo Board, shop at nearby stores, or take a leisurely walk through the gardens during the day or early evening.

Official Peony Celebration merchandise (like totes and bags by NOMAR) are available at:

• Homer Chamber of Commerce & Visitor Center

• Art Shop Gallery

• Clayworks

• Bunnell Street Arts Center
