Inn at Union Square: Stay for the Flower Piano in San Francisco

The magical annual Flower Piano event transforms the San Francisco Botanical Garden into an open-air concert hall, scattering twelve pianos throughout the lush, 55-acre living museum. For several days, acclaimed musicians, local artists, and members of the public come together to play and enjoy beautiful melodies surrounded by rare and exotic plants.

After a whimsical day of music immersed in nature, finding a comfortable and sophisticated place to unwind is essential. Inn at Union Square, a hidden gem steps from Union Square with only 30 boutique rooms, offers an intimate and charming stay that serves as the perfect home base for travelers seeking accommodations for the Flower Piano event.

About the Event

Launched as a creative collaboration to connect people with nature through art, this multi-day musical celebration has grown into one of Northern California's most highly anticipated cultural gatherings. The pianos are carefully placed in distinct garden spaces, from the majestic Redwood Grove to the tranquil Mediterranean Garden, creating an intimate soundscape for exploration.

The programming features a brilliant mixture of scheduled professional concerts, sunset dynamic performances, and designated open-play hours where anyone can sit down and play a tune. It is a community-driven celebration of creativity, acoustic melody, and natural beauty that captures the true artistic heart of San Francisco.
