A few tickets remain; purchase tickets here.
In addition to the festivities in the park on Saturday, “Brunch and Blooms” sponsored by the Lacy Arts Building provides visitors with peony-inspired food and drink throughout the day from local restaurants in seven outdoor locations around the historic downtown including four of them in “full bloom” in peony-inspired decorated alleys.
