Colors of California |  May 31 – Aug 30

Filoli offers unique restorative experiences for the whole family every season.  From the historic home and manicured gardens to a vast estate and natural trails, come explore the beauty and tranquility of another time.  Guests can visit the café, have a glass of wine or afternoon tea.   

Filoli is celebrating the Colors of California in layers of exhibits, events, and programs. Launching this season is the re-imagined Flower Show, where you will see a kaleidoscope of flowers in the House and Garden. The Visitor and Education Center will also feature colorful California landscapes by the world-renowned artist, Roland Petersen. The Garden will be awash in color with the glass art of three California artists. Mark your calendars for the return of our other popular events, the Jazz and our all-new Summer Nights.
