The New York Botanical Garden will host its highly anticipated signature event, The Conservatory Ball, on June 4, 2026. This year’s Ball will celebrate NYBG’s summer exhibition Flower Power, inspired by the enduring symbolism of flowers as icons of peace and love. Immerse yourself in a groovy and colorful flower show spotlighting the ways in which hippie culture advanced closer relationships with the natural world, and explore vibrant monumental installations and botanical tableaus. Ball guests will “come together” under the glow of the Enid A. Haupt Conservatory for a cocktail reception, elegant dinner, and dancing.
Proceeds support the New York Botanical Garden’s preeminent botanical research, children’s education, and horticulture programs. For more information, please contact the Special Events team at 914.579.1000 or conball@nybg.org.
