The Northwest Flower & Garden Festival returns to the Convention Center in mid-February, and once again, the Festival is partnering with the Arboretum Foundation to host their annual gala benefitting the Washington Park Arboretum.
Instead of a formal sit-down dinner, this year’s Botanical Bash will be a vibrant, after-hours, one-of-a-kind dance party!
After the visiting public has left the Convention Center on Friday, Feb. 21, the show garden floor will be transformed into an illuminated, flower-filled dance hall, with visionary Seattle DJ Marco Collinsspinning the tunes.
Guests will sip botanically infused cocktails and dance the winter blues away in a sparkling nocturnal garden-scape. They’ll also be able take part in a raffle and silent auction to help raise funds for Seattle’s most treasured park and botanic gardens.
Proceeds from the Botanical Bash will fund the stewardship of the Arboretum’s world-class plant collection, as well as core science education and volunteer programs.
The event will take place from 8:30 a.m. to 11 p.m. at the Seattle Convention Center, 705 Pike St.
Ticket levels: General entry is $50. VIP tickets are $250 and include two drinks, nibbles and desserts, access to the VIP Lounge, and complimentary parking.
