Fall Foliage Festival

Enjoy a rainbow of colors and bushels of fun at the Rhododendron Species Botanical Garden’s Fall Foliage Festival October 26-27.

Discover an immersive wonderland of sights, sounds and sensations – from cool breezes to rustling leaves, and the quiet swaying of golden-brown maple trees.

The garden’s annual Fall Foliage Festival is sure to please garden aficionados and nature lovers of all ages.

Come see one of the finest displays of fall foliage color on the west coast. Our large collection of Japanese maples, deciduous azaleas and other deciduous species never fails to produce a huge range of bright colors right before we head into the dark and grey of winter. Your last chance for outdoor color until next spring!

Don your favorite October-themed outfit to compete for garden prizes in a light-hearted costume contest, enjoy sweet and frothy drinks, warm and spicy food, and partake in all manner of growing things. Garden ghouls and goblins of all ages will be swept away as they explore picturesque trails, share the good fall vibes, and celebrate this most enchanted time of year.
