We are very excited Flower Piano is set to return for it’s 10th anniversary in the Botanical Garden for 10 days, spanning two weekends—September 12-21, with a Special Opening Night Event on September 12.
In the final days of summer and for the tenth time since 2015, Flower Piano will once again transform San Francisco Botanical Garden into the city’s own alfresco concert hall where everyone is invited to play and listen. Seek out 12 pianos and discover more than 100 performances, family-friendly activities, our second annual Flower Piano Fashion Show, food, beverages, and more.
Kick off the festivities with us at our Special 10th Anniversary Opening Night Event, featuring Montuno Swing Salsa Band with Grammy Award-Winning Pianist Christian Tumalan.
