San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers in Golden Gate Park hosted a wild party for 400 on May 31, 2018. The inaugural Amazonia event featured live performances, food, and drinks inspired by the Amazon rainforest.
David Block and the Human Experience with electric violinist Shaina Evoniuk and dancer Kristina Block played outside in the grass in front of the dramatic conservatory building. Inside the greenhouse, guests wandered and socialized among the plants and dined on Impossible Burgers and more delicacies from some of the Bay Area’s top caterers.
