The Houston Botanic Garden presents Flower Power, a new spring festival, on Sunday, April 13. Enjoy a day of flower-focused family fun and an afternoon concert from Houston-based Beatles and '60s music tribute band The Fab 5, from 2-4 p.m. Stevie the Photo Bus, a vintage VW with a built-in photo booth, will be on-site from 9 a.m.-1 p.m., for groovy photo ops.

In addition, attendees can enjoy a Family Fun Zone with floral-themed and tie-dye crafts; shop a festive market featuring local artists and vendors; test their knowledge of plants and 60s trivia; buy selected plants from the Garden; browse information stations staffed by select nonprofit organizations; and snap plenty of beautiful photos with colorful blooms. Access to the entire Garden — including the new exhibition Rich Soil by artist Kristine Mays and the “Habitat” exhibition from the Smithsonian Institution Traveling Exhibition Service — is also part of the Flower Power experience.
