The San Francisco Botanical Garden is a beautiful, relaxing green space that provides refuge in the city for tourists and long-time residents alike. If the Garden’s 8,000+ plants across 55 acres weren’t enough, they are bringing in an extra-special addition in September. That’s right, Flower Piano is back for another year from September 13-22, 2024.
Multiple public pianos will be placed around the gardens so you can enjoy lovely music in an even lovelier setting. The event is free for SF residents but you’ll still need to reserve ahead of time as it’s one of the garden’s most popular events of the year.
This year, the event has doubled in length, spanning two weekends. That means you have more time to catch one of the dazzling performances in the garden. There will also be a special opening night event on September 12, with more details to be announced.
As usual, the rest of the days are stacked with additional performances throughout the gardens from morning through evening. The 2024 schedule has yet to be released, but stay tuned for more details.
Flower Piano has had 8 successful years at San Francisco Botanical Garden despite a break in 2020 due to the pandemic. The Garden usually puts up 12 beautiful pianos around the area, which are free for the anyone to play during the week, and reserved for professional performances at select times. The Botanical Garden works in collaboration with Sunset Piano, a local artist duo known for placing beautiful, sculptural pianos around the Bay Area.
Golden Gate Park already has some public pianos available, thanks to the Golden Mile Project. The pianos are along JFK Promenade and are open to the public. Keep an eye on the San Francisco Botanical Garden’s website and social media for updates on this exciting event, which will be here before we know it!
