Arboretum’s 12th Annual Plumeria Festival Set for July 17-18

The Los Angeles County Arboretum and Botanic Garden will hold its 12th Annual Plumeria Festival on Friday, July 17, from 4 to 8 p.m., and Saturday, July 18, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., according to a press release from the Arboretum

The festival is centered on the Arboretum’s Plumeria Grove, which the Arboretum describes as the largest public plumeria collection in the western continental United States, with more than 100 trees. The grove is located on Tallac Knoll at the Arboretum, 301 N. Baldwin Ave. in Arcadia.

The event will include more than 20 plant and merchandise vendors, guided tours of the grove, talks from gardening experts, live entertainment, lei-making, and food trucks, the release said. Admission is included with paid general admission to the Arboretum, which is $18 for adults, $14 for students with ID and seniors 62 and older, and $8 for children ages 3 to 12; children 2 and under and Arboretum members are admitted free, according to the Arboretum’s website. Tickets are available online at arboretum.org.

The release identifies OffSite IT as a supporting sponsor of this year’s festival; it did not name a presenting sponsor.

Plumerias, prized for their fragrance and colorful blooms, are native to the Caribbean and to Mexico and Central and northern South America, though the plant is closely associated with Hawaii, where its flowers are used in leis, the release said.
