WHAT TO WEAR TO DÎNER EN FLEUR
To kick off the Festival’s opening night on May 15, 2026, The May Festival will host Dîner en Fleur in Washington Park, a public picnic for community members to come together and share a meal before attending the concert at Music Hall.
Inspired by the traditions of the Festival’s more than 150-year history, guests are encouraged to bring their own picnic baskets and food, as well as come dressed in spring attire to enjoy a night of choral music while dining with neighbors. Dîner en Fleur will feature live entertainment, picnic tables for seating and free activities for guests. In addition to live entertainment, there will also be the opportunity for attendees to create their own free flower crown in partnership with the Cincinnati Art Museum.
May Festival ticket holders will receive 15% off their purchase at Idlewild for the event. Please show ticket at checkout.
