Plumeria Festival

Set your clock to island time this weekend as the Arboretum hosts its 11th annual celebration of the fragrant flowers that are a hallmark of Hawaii (though they’re actually native to the Caribbean, Mexico and South America). Shop for exotic plants and floral souvenirs, walk amid more than 100 flowering trees in the Plumeria Grove, listen to talks by botanical experts, make your own leis, and enjoy live entertainment—think Tahitian drumming and Polynesian fire dance—food trucks and cocktails.
