Fête des Fleurs

The 2026 Fête des Fleurs, Denver Botanic Gardens’ 42nd annual fundraising gala, will take place across the 24-acre oasis of the Gardens’ York Street location. Over 700 guests are anticipated, including distinguished business and community leaders.

In honor of the Gardens’ 75th Anniversary and Colorado’s 150th Anniversary, this year’s theme features woven branches and communal tables that celebrate connection.

Enjoy an elegant evening of cocktails, dinner, live music and dancing amidst the blooming Gardens. As the cocktail reception unfolds, guests will encounter the monumental and contemplative works in the exhibition Jaume Plensa: A New Humanism.

Select from five distinct dining locations, each providing a unique ambiance and delectable culinary experience. Whether in the elevated sophistication of the Romantic Gardens, the lively and vibrant energy under the UMB Amphitheater Tent, the fragrant allure of the Orangery or the breathtaking views of waterlilies from the Hive Deck, every dining setting promises an extraordinary and memorable experience.

Following dinner, dance the night away to live music from Radio Band in Mitchell Hall.

The Fête annually contributes over $600,000 to Denver Botanic Gardens’ core programs including school access, public outreach, horticulture, research and conservation.
