Midcentury sophistication meets contemporary creativity as every gathering space comes alive with unexpected moments of discovery.

Guests will enjoy exclusive after-hours access to the Art Alive floral exhibition before dancing beneath the stars until midnight, making Bloom Bash one of San Diego's most anticipated social events of the year.
