Return of the Daffodils

Returning for the fourth year, the bright and joyful installation of 20 larger-than-life daffodils will be on display from March 31 until April 30 at Seaport Common. Seaport initially commissioned the piece by artist Daniele Frazier to align with the 2019 Boston Marathon and heighten the beautiful symbolism behind marathon daffodils but has returned annually to welcome the Spring season due its popular demand. And this year, it’s a particularly exciting season in the city coming out of the pandemic and with the return of the marathon. Twenty daffodils standing at 20-feet tall will provide a bold and colorful splash of orange, yellow and green to the Seaport’s public park, reminding all that Spring has bloomed. Made of rip-stop nylon, the daffodils have hollow-volume forms that spin according to the wind’s direction, directing the eye towards Seaport’s water views and ever-changing skyline.
