Come celebrate the Summer of Love with free Jam & Light Show on Wednesday, June 21st, from 6:00 pm to 9:30 pm in San Francisco, California.
Flowers power the night this summer as the Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park becomes the canvas for an elegant light art installation to honor San Francisco’s city-wide celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Summer of Love.
Developed in partnership with San Francisco Recreation and Parks by Illuminate, the installation uses gobo projectors to transform the all-white landmark with a series of exquisitely illuminated scenes inspired by the rare tropical flowers within and the legacy of San Francisco’s flower children.
It’s a nightly spectacle of spinning flower mandalas, animated butterflies, and much, much more. The free public installation will be on view nightly from sundown until midnight throughout the summer, June 21 through October 21, 2017.
Plus, for the launch, they will be having a very special free Surrealistic Summer Solstice jam from 6-10 pm to accompany the lighting, revisiting the iconic songs of the late 1960s with over forty legendary musicians including:
- members of ALO
- Ratdog
- The Chambers Brothers
- The Jefferson Airplane
- Motherhips
- Quicksilver Messenger Service
- Tarnation
- Katdelic
- Phil Lesh’s Terrapin Family Band
- New Monsoon
- Moonalice and more
The flower-powered celebration is free and open to all ages. It begins on John F. Kennedy Drive in front of the Conservatory at 6 pm at the main stage. At approximately 9:15 pm, all eyes will be on the Conservatory for the Grand Lighting. Space is limited at this event, and the public is encouraged to make a free reservation.
