SF’s Epic “Photosynthesis” Light Show | Conservatory of Flowers
Light up the season with Photosynthesis,
This beautiful light art installation was developed in partnership with the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department and was designed by Lumigeek with music by Tim Digulla. The installation uses special projectors to transform the all-white glasshouse into a series of exquisite scenes inspired by the rare tropical flowers growing within this national landmark.
The light art installation changes twice a year, adapting it’s visuals and music to the spring-summer season and fall-winter season. The winter version of the light show will go live on November 8, 2024.
This public art installation takes place outside the Conservatory of Flowers and is free for visitors of all ages.
The Conservatory’s light show begins approximately 30 minutes after sunset every night, transforming the building into a canvas of colorful light art.
Starting on November 8, 2024, bundle up and spread out a blanket on the lawn in front of the iconic Conservatory of Flowers for an amazing evening of free music and psychedelic visuals in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park every night at sunset. The outside of the Conservatory of Flowers will be illuminated starting 30 minutes after sunset every night and will continue to run on a loop until midnight.
Our beloved flower-powered light show is FREE every night and open to all ages!
