Fête des Fleurs

Celebrate an unforgettable evening at the 2026 Fête des Fleurs, Denver Botanic Gardens’ 42nd annual fundraising gala, set within the 24-acre York Street oasis. Welcoming more than 700 business and community leaders, this year’s event honors the Gardens’ 75th anniversary and Colorado’s 150th anniversary with woven branches, Colorado-inspired decor and long connected tables that celebrate community.

Guests will enjoy cocktails, a curated dinner experience across five distinctive garden settings, and live music and dancing. During the reception, explore Jaume Plensa: A New Humanism, a striking exhibition of monumental, contemplative works. The evening continues with dancing to Radio Band in Mitchell Hall, creating a vibrant close to a night of elegance and celebration.

Proceeds from the Fête support the Gardens’ vital core outreach programs including school access, public outreach, horticulture, research and conservation, raising over $600,000 annually.

Wish to support the Fête and the Gardens with a gift?
Contribute to the Friends of the Fête Matching Gift Fund. The fund will match contributions made the night of the Fête through the Fête Challenge, doubling your impact and inspiring additional gifts to support the Gardens outreach efforts for years to come. The Fête committee’s goal is to raise $75,000 by July 31, 2026.
