Roll out the red carpet!

The Vallarta Botanical Garden is trading its daytime calm for gold, glitter, and a dash of old Hollywood mischief. Our peacocks are preening for their most glamorous evening yet, and you’re invited.

 Saturday, February 20th, 2027
  5-9pm (or later if you stay for dancing!)
 Vallarta Botanical Gardens

Arrive like a star, with paparazzi photographers, a golden Art Deco backdrop, and a floral corsage or boutonnière to pin on. Wander paths glowing in golden light, sip a Naughty Martini named for a screen legend (a classic Gibson, a hibiscus French 75, or a Jalisco-style martini with a splash of raicilla), and tuck into a Mexican Golden Age dinner with an open bar. Silent films flicker on a garden wall, and live jazz keeps the evening swinging. Dinner will be set to a soundtrack by a very special guest. Name coming soon! Then Monaco, Vallarta’s top dance band, are back to close the night and keep you dancing till late.

Feeling dazzling?

Our Best Feathers Contest crowns the best-dressed guests of the evening, with fun categories like Best Bogart, Best Bette, and Most Dazzling Jewels. Bring your finest gold, silver, pearls, and feathers, and let the room be your runway. And once the contest is done, place your bids in our live auction, with items to be revealed soon.

It’s all the elegance (and mischief) of the 1920s and 30s, reimagined for a cause that matters! Every peso raised supports the Gardens’ important conservation, education, and scientific research programs, along with the daily horticultural care that keeps this natural paradise thriving.
