Free and open to the public, the community is invited to attend the Blooms & More Festival, a spring celebration hosted by the Cornwall Manor Society on Saturday, May 2, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The Blooms & More Festival will be held on the Buckingham Campus at Cornwall Manor Retirement Community. The event will take place rain or shine (indoors). Free shuttle transportation will be provided from Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 2596 Cornwall Road, Cornwall.
This year’s festival coincides with Kentucky Derby Day. To celebrate, attendees are encouraged to wear their favorite Derby hat fashions and embrace the festive spirit. Guests may register by noon for a chance to win prizes, and non-alcoholic Mint Juleps will be served while supplies last.
Festival highlights include a large plant sale featuring annuals, perennials, mixed containers, hanging baskets, and houseplants, along with a wide selection of USDA-certified organic vegetables, herbs, annuals, and perennials grown at Cornwall Manor’s Trailside Organic Farm.
Additional attractions include a silent auction with themed baskets, gift cards, experiences, and other unique items; handmade crafts and woodworking pieces; shopping at the Manor Shoppe gift and convenience store and the Treasure Trove thrift shop; and a variety of food offerings, including lunch items prepared by Cornwall Manor Dining Services, homemade fudge, and baked goods.
Guests may also enjoy tours of the historic Buckingham Mansion and the Railroad Club, available from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. New this year is a Resident Art Show in the Paymasters Building, featuring artwork created by Cornwall Manor residents. Artwork will be available for purchase, with proceeds benefiting Cornwall Manor’s Benevolent Care.
All proceeds from the Blooms & More Festival support the programs and projects of the Cornwall Manor Society, which provides benevolent care and enhances services for residents in the Health Center and Personal Care.
Special thanks to the Blooms & More Festival sponsors: Fulton Bank, Platinum Sponsor; Barley Snyder Attorneys at Law, Cornwall Construction, Culinesse, Hoaster Gebhard Insurance, and Woodland Contractors, Gold Sponsors; and Jonestown Bank & Trust (JBT) and Harry and Marianne McConnell, Bronze Sponsors.
