Tropical Paradise Blooms in Balboa Park

We’re about to dive into a fragrant sea of color at the annual Plumeria Festival! The Southern California Plumeria Society is transforming Casa del Prado in Balboa Park into a tropical oasis that’ll make you forget you’re in the heart of San Diego.

Plumeria Festival

Petals, Plants, and Party Vibes

This isn’t your grandma’s garden party (though she’s totally welcome). We’re talking live entertainment that’ll have you swaying like a plumeria in the breeze, a jaw-dropping flower show that’s basically nature’s version of a red carpet, and a plant sale that’ll turn even the brownest thumbs green with envy.

Imagine strolling through aisles of potted perfection, each plant vying for a spot in your urban jungle at home. And the best part? It’s all free! That’s right—free admission to dive into this botanical wonderland.

See you there!

We’ve got a blooming good time planned for September 7 and 8, from 10 AM to 4 PM each day. So grab your plant-loving crew and make a weekend of it. With thousands of visitors expected, you’ll be in good company as you ooh and aah over these tropical beauties.

For more info on the Plumeria Festival and the Southern California Plumeria Society, visit here.

See you there, San Diego!
