Blooms & Tunes at Anakeesta

Blooms & Tunes typically runs from early April through late June 2026. Throughout the event, Anakeesta’s mountaintop setting transforms with colorful floral displays, larger-than-life art installations, and live music performances. Guests can stroll through Vista Gardens surrounded by thousands of blooms, enjoy rotating live musicians in Black Bear Village (often Thursday through Sunday), and sample seasonal food and drink offerings. Evening visits are especially memorable, with twinkling lights illuminating the gardens and mountain views stretching for miles.
